Destination Chicago
The past couple of days, I spent some time in Chicago. I was generously given Southwest buddy passes - A HUGE thanks. It was the first vacation I've taken in over 4 years. I purposely didn't bring my camera or laptop so it was very relaxing and low-key. I did, however, snap off a few iPhone photos to document my trip. I've done the touristy stuff in the past, so this was just a chance to spend time with my brother and see some things that most people miss.
Leaving BHM.
Birds-eye-view of the Chicago suburbs.
Brunch at Bongo Room in Wicker Park. Yes, those are banana-bacon pancakes and they were delicious. Too much food to eat. (Tip: You can order half-sizes and single stacks.)
Meet Roscoe, my brother's rescued pet turtle. He enjoys begging for dried shrimp but really wants crickets!
piece. Very tasty thin-crust pizza served on large baking sheets. Highly recommended.
Puppetbike. This thing is C-R-A-Z-Y! Adults stand around and laugh at these puppets. This bike comes complete with music and lights. But, I have to admit - it's pretty funny and entertaining, as well as confusing.
A night out at Marty's. A cool martini bar where we met some awesome people. The night went downhill from there.
Tiny car in Andersonville.
I did a lot of antique shopping while I was there. Loved these stacked pots and wish I could have bought them all. But I doubt they would have survived the trip back.
The hidden entrance to Violet Hour. Complete with fake "coming soon" sign painted on the outside and various graffiti. That lonely looking guy is actually a bouncer. Cool concept and equally cool space.
This concoction is a bloody-Mary in a tiki-faced glass from Tweet. Despite being kinda weird, it served a great brunch. And we were even given apples as we left. Why you ask? For earth day of course.
Even the runway at MDW has insane traffic. Leaving Chicago...Goodbye to friends old and new.

A thank you goes out to Jim and Zach for letting me spend the weekend with them and showing me a great time. I saw some really cool things and ate some incredible food. I don't get to spend much time with them so I hope they will visit soon.

iPhone photos: behind the scenes
Searching for pollution by air with the Black Warrior Riverkeepers. A great organization that I'm always happy to help.
Southwings, a conservation aviation non-profit, donates their time and resources to help in the on-going fight against illegal dumping.
