In my latest Friday Favorites post I talked about my Chicago trip. Since it was our first couples trip, that included my best friend from High School and her boyfriend, we came home with more photos that normal and I thought it would be fun to share a few of our favorites! Our trip was filled with shopping on Michigan Ave, dinner at Hub 51, and drinks on the 96th floor of the Hancock Building. We had such a great time in Chicago and we can’t wait until our next visit.

Pumpkin Patch

November 4, 2013November 3, 20131 Comment

A few weekends ago Ian and I traveled to our local pumpkin patch. We spent the afternoon walking around the apple orchard, snacking on carmel apples, and enjoying the crisp fall air. While our main goal of the day was to pick out a few pumpkins to bring home, it ended up to be quite an adventure. That’s one of the things I love most about Ian, he can make the simplest things into a cherished memory.

Lake Oconomowoc

On our way home from Milwaukee we were able to stop by Ian’s good friend’s lake house on Lake Oconomowoc. It was great catching up and spending some time out on the water. After water skiing and soaking up some sun we headed over to Kiltie’s. While it was my first time at the 50’s drive up diner, I know it won’t be my last! Their Black Cow, which is a blended root beer float, has become a new favorite of mine! Here are a few pictures I snapped of our visit.
