November was one of the hardest months we’ve had here so far. Christopher had many long days and very few days off, but we made the most of the time we had together.
On Christopher’s first day off in November, we decided to spend it enjoying the city. We walked all the way to Northerly Island for some gorgeous views of the city. Then, we spent some time chatting and enjoying the fall colors at Millennium Park.
We had our first snowfall in November with almost a foot of snow by O’Hare airport. It was so beautiful, but sadly, it delayed my in-laws’ visit.
Once Christopher’s family got here, we had a great time visiting the Museum of Science and Industry, the Shedd Aquarium, and Chicago 360. We also visited the Christkindlmarket for some spiced wine and German treats. I love exploring new places in the city with family, and I can’t wait to share more about everything we did.
I have been looking forward to December in Chicago all year, and I can’t wait that it’s already here. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas season!
You have done such an amazing job at rolling with the punches and making the most of things! I admire that so much!

DeleteHard to believe it's already been 6 month?! Beautiful views of the city. Chicago is definitely one of my favorite cities.
ReplyDeleteChicago is my absolute favorite city!!! There is so much to see and explore!! I've never been there in the winter probably because I've always been afraid of getting snowed in but I really must make the adventure one year around this time! It must be beautiful! =)

ReplyDeleteUgh, I am sooo happy for you and jealous of you. Living in Chicago is my dream and someday, I will make it happen!! I've been there three times in December and it's really magical (as Northern cities tend to be in the holidays). Love, love, love, love!!! I'm excited to read about your Christmas there!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing to think you're already halfway through your time when this time last year we didn't even know where you were going!
ReplyDeleteI bet you had so much fun seeing the city at Christmastime. Yay for 6 months... Isn't it crazy how time flies?
