A Weekend of Play in Chicago

Joel and I have been so busy lately. Running from place to place, event to event for the past few months. We normally land at around 8:30 p.m. each evening, exhausted, but together.

We had a single weekend that was open in June, so we took full advantage! We hopped in the car and took a quick overnight trip to Chicago.

Chicago is one of our favorite playgrounds. Our country hearts still have a little city edge to them! On this trip, we spent all of our time at Navy Pier for "The Rolling Stones Exhibitionism." We are both huge Stones fans (I recently expressed my love for them in this blog post) so it was hard for us to contain our excitement in the weeks leading up to our visit!

There are no words for how wonderful the exhibit was. I'll let the pictures do the talking and just say, if you are a Stones fan like us, make the time to go. It is in Chicago until July 30, 2017. The experience is very personal and you'll leave feeling deeply connected to this band of magnificent men. Here's a sneak peek:

On our way back, we decided to "ooze" and took the scenic route. We stopped by Antique Archaeology in LeClaire, Iowa - home of the American Pickers:

Our last stop was Coral Ridge Mall in Coralville, Iowa. I needed black flip-flops. I walked out with flip flops...a new swim suit, vintage finds, overalls, etc. I'll post more about what I bought on my Fashion page as I wear each piece!
