Christmas in Chicago

Last Friday, my husband and I ventured out into the cold winter to do a little shopping at the Macy's on State Street. We had dinner under the giant tree in the Walnut Room, then popped in a few stores on State Street. The picture here is one of the most famous places you see photos of in Chicago...the Chicago Theater. I've lived in the Chicago area all of my life, but I will never ever tire of pictures of the street scenes here. I think this photo shows what this city is all about.

Dreaming of warmer days...

Since we're in the midst of our first block of bitter cold of the season, I've been thinking about warmer days. Dreaming of warmer days, actually. Just one month ago, we were in Jamaica on our honeymoon....enjoying the sunshine, the heat, and the ridiculous humidity. While in Ocho Rios, we climbed Dunns River Falls....a 400 foot climb UP in the waterfall. While I spent the first ten minutes scared out of my mind, I spent the remaining fifty minutes loving what we were doing. All the while, enjoying the time with my new husband.
