Eight Hours in Chi-Town

This past August, Aaron and I took a trip out to the Midwest to visit his family. We made a pit-stop in Chicago, eating and drinking our hearts out, and spending some time with Aaron's childhood friend (shoutout to Phil!) who had recently moved out there. I was falling asleep that morning, ironically enough, over coffee and breakfast and it was so kind of Phil to let me nap at his apartment for an hour or so. We sipped coffee at Intelligentsia in Logan Square, ate brunch at Lula Cafe (so darling!), browsed a few shops (it was still pretty early when we were out), taco-ed it up at Big Star (which I would highly recommend) and finished with some ice cream/donuts/more coffee at Stan's Coffee & Coffee before taking the train down to Indiana. It was so enjoyable to finally be on a plane with Aaron, going to a city that was not home to either of us. Our first trip together! Aaron made this gif below so I hope y'all enjoy it. He was pretty excited about it.
