So I made an impromptu trip to Chicago for the 4th weekend. American Airlines had crazy cheap tickets, up until the night before I left. So I bought my ticket on Thursday night and flew out on Friday night. Still hard to believe. I really didn't want to spend my 4th weekend in St. Louis.I got to hang out with 2 of my really great college friends. It all worked out so perfectly. I am so happy!!
I had the opportunity to go to Taste of Chicago, for the 2nd time. It was amazing. I love love trying different types of food. It was great!! I hope I can remember everything I tried, let's see:
- Baklava
- Kiefer
- Connie's Deep Dish Cheese Pizza
- Pralines and Cream
- Oreo Parfait
- Jerk Chicken and Rice
- Chocolate Dipped Banana
- Chicken Kabob
I even made it back to St. Louis in time to catch the fireworks show downtown. So that made me really happy.
(I'm currently uploading photos from the trip onto facebook)
For some reason, I felt especially patriotic on this 4th of July. Not sure why, but you guys know I love holidays, I love warm weather, I love fireworks, and I love food. So basically the 4th is usually one of those holidays that I love.
Something that I really miss going to is Stone Mountain...yeah I know it is really a "Confederate Memorial" but I really love the Laser Show. It basically became a summer tradition of mind, but summer is coming to a close and it's looking like no laser show. Anyways, but I really like how they usually set the lasers to music.
The fireworks show in Downtown St. Louis was especially impressive. It was beautiful. We had the perfect seats on the great lawn right under the arch. I was just so happy to be there in that moment. I actually shot a couple of videos. I will post them. Beware...in most of the videos I'm yelling something along the lines of "Wow...thats Awesome".. like the whole time. Anyways, enjoy!
Until Next Time
