You know you have great friends when you can go a whole year without seeing each other, but then pick up right where you left off when you are finally together again.
I love that when I booked a flight to Chicago just a couple months ago, it coincidentally worked out that a friend from Arizona would just happen to be in the area at the same time! I also love that when friends from Michigan, Indiana, and even those spending the summer in Kansas found out I was coming to Chicago, they all made every effort to be there at the same time. It worked out perfectly that I could spend quality time with all of my closest college friends in one weekend.
We spent one day downtown enjoying the "Taste of Chicago." What could be better than some of Chicago's best restaurants setting up booths and selling taste portions of their most popular meals? Lots of things looked good, and we didn't have to choose just one! We enjoyed lots of different treats - each to our own liking. Though it was a dripping hot day, we found a shady place to eat and relax together.
The rest of our weekend was spent simply enjoying each other's company and catching up after too much time apart! Pedicures, girly drinks, sunshine, and late night conversations were a great combination!
