For the last day of 2013 a few of my roommates made a list of "things we want to do in Chicago before 2014" from watching the sunrise over Lake Michigan to a Whole Foods adventure and the Home Alone house. Here is the story…
 |
| This is Chicago…at 5:45am…in the freezing rain. |
 |
| Alliance Bakery, supposed to open at 6:00am, but of course it is NYE, and it opens at 7:00am. |
 |
| So we continue to drive towards the Skyline and spot this gem! |
 |
| Croissants for all! |
 |
| Yum! |
 |
| Sky is starting to get a little brighter as we drive into the city… |
 |
| Skyline at 6:20am |
 |
| The lake. |
 |
| Some cool Navy Pier shots with Lake Shore Drive in the forefront. |
 |
| We made it-on the 12th floor of 500 Lake Shore Dr. to watch the sun rise! |
 |
| Right on the harbor |
 |
| Friends at 7:00am. |
 |
| Where is that sun?? |
 |
| Oh wait-there it is! |
 |
| Running out onto the freezing porch to greet the last sun of 2013! |
 |
| Chicago at sunrise. |
 |
| And then a friendly game of pool in the lounge. |
 |
| Where do you go at 8:00am besides…Salvation Army?? |
 |
| Oh hi there, Prom dresses! |
 |
| Then onto Whole Foods for some PB making! |
 |
| Found my future detox, too. |
 |
| And some "Guac-kale-mole" |
 |
| Which flavor?? |
 |
| Some Prosecco for good measure. |
 |
| Why, of course there is a random tooth on the side of Logan Blvd. |
 |
| So, we should pose with it. |
 |
| Good morning Logan Square! |
 |
| Morning Snack: homemade honey nut pb, celery, apples, and… |
 |
| wineeee |
 |
| Grabbing some FroYo on our way to… |
 |
| The Home Alone house!! |
 |
| (Quick Nap) and now time for the festivities! |
 |
| Roasted veggie kabobs! |
 |
| Cucumber sandwiches! |
 |
| Brie en croute (gluten-free!) |
 |
| Hello LVC friends! |
 |
| And work friends! |
 |
| You ready for this?? |
 |
| Chicago at 10:30pm |
 |
| Buses=My Worst Enemy |
 |
| New Year's Eve Bus=VERY friendly & festive bus. |
 |
| Discovered a chapel in the Catholic Service House (former convent) |
 |
| Chapel time. |
 |
| Organ in the chapel loft! |
 |
| Happy New Year! |
