32nd birthday in Chicago

Jake was out of town at a work commitment for the entire week of my birthday this year. So I made a bunch of plans, including spending my actual birthday in Chicago with my immediate family. Since I got a DSLR, most of my Chicago trips haven't allowed for a lot of random wandering and picture taking. It was great to spend a few hours out in the city with family, camera in hand, on my birthday.


 










Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who made my birthday and my entire solo week so great. I am blessed to live near a lot of family and to have so many good friends in Milwaukee.

  1. I absolutely love that last photo!

    I can never remember the name of where that done is located (at least, I assume the photo towards the middle is the dome I'm thinking of?), but my sister always stays very near there whenever she visits Chicago. Her boyfriend has family there and they love going to visit.

    So glad you had a good birthday! I know how difficult it can be to celebrate when you can't be with the person you'd really like to see.
