The weather has been perfect lately, so we used it as an excuse to go to the beach! Chicago has some pretty awesome beaches along lake Michigan, so visiting them is a must!
Josh and I hopped on the train in our running clothes with our swim suits in tow. We had big plans than included running along the lake, eating lunch at one of the bistros along the beach, and then sunning and running a few more miles.
That's not how our day went.
We got down town and immediately met my dad for lunch. He has a love of all ethnic foods and was presenting us with menus for different Indian restaurants, Mediterranean restaurants, and various polish diners. Silly Bruce, we can't eat ethnic right before a vigorous run! Our bodies our finely-tuned running machines! So we ate huge sub sandwiches.
We then headed towards the lake (walking slowly) and decided to sit on the beach to let our lunch digest. After all, our bodies are finely-tuned running machines and it would be irresponsible to run so full of food! We ended up ditching the run completely and just enjoyed soaking up the sunshine.
After we left the beach, we headed towards Millennium park to check out the bean and listen to a band that was playing near by. It was a blast! We think of the bean as "our place" because we ended up there on our romantically tense first date (awwwwww so tender!) so we always enjoy visiting it together. We then hopped on the train and had a relaxing ride home.
Summer break has been the best and I hate that it has to end. Thank goodness for weekends!
