highs:
seeing the river dyed green. this has been on my "must-see" list ever since we moved to chicago. it is so much more amazing to see up close and in person...pictures don't do it justice.
getting to spend the entire day in the city with my dear friend Janelle...who just so happens to love to eat and shop at all the same places as I do in the city :)
having an awesome husband who was willing to stay at home with a sick baby all day.
being kid-free/stroller-free/heavy diaper bag-free in the city. loved it.
free red bulls being handed out at union station.
corner bakery paninis...mmmmm
irish cream sprinkles cupcakes....double mmmmm
shopping on magnificent mile.
lows:
freezing cold
not being rich enough to buy whatever I wanted while shopping on magnificent mile.
freezing cold
stomach ache I got after eating two ginormous cupcakes
freezing cold
sore legs and feet later that night from walking over 5+ miles all over the city
freezing cold
And I'm pretty sure I'll do it all again next year for st. pattys 2012 :)

That is so neat! A green river, shopping and eating in the city, what could be better?!
