First of all, please accept my humble apologies for abandoning my poor blog. It was close to calling 241-BLOGS, but fortunately I arrived home from Chicago just in time.
As always, I had such a wonderful weekend visiting my friends.
Highlights of the trip included:
Shopping for six (okay maybe more) hours straight and making some amazing purchases, including A NEW PEA COAT!!!! I found this lovely coat on sale at Anthropologie for only $80, originally $288. What a steal!
Eating dinner at Friends Sushi. Yum, yum.
Being very tacky and touristy and riding the ferris wheel at Navy Pier (Note: we were totally freaking out in the wind, and I may have posted a dramatic Facebook status claiming we were stuck at the top of the ferris wheel. This was a lie)

Walking miles down to Buckingham Fountain to discover it was covered up for the winter.
Having crepes and tea with one of my dearest friends this morning <3
The funniest part of my trip happened this afternoon though. I was waiting for my cousin to pick me up at 2PM when he texted me to let me know he was running late and it would be closer to 2:30. I was extremely happy to receive this news since I was starving and now had time to get a quick lunch.
Since I didn't have too much time to spare, I ended up getting a hamburger and fries from a place called "Devil Dawgs." I sat down at a picnic table outside surrounded by my luggage and carrier bags and began to eat.
What should happen next but a sweet girl from a number of my freshman year classes walked by.
"JENNA??? IS THAT YOU?" She asked, understandably confused as to why the girl who transferred schools was sitting at a picnic table alone eating a hamburger.
GREAT way to be seen after three years! TOTALLY NORMAL.
looks like such a fun trip! i love that coat. a pea coat is ESSENTIAL, in my opinion! and those crepes look delicious
