The Windy City...

I went to Chicago this weekend with my Physics class--had a blast, spent too much money (on clothes, of course), and wanted to share the highlights.

Waiting for the L...
I like how the trees seem to frame this picture.


The jellyfish at the Shedd Aquarium were lit with one of those color-changing lights, which really made them stand out from the other aqueous animals.




I thought this starfish was no stranger to the stage...




Lydia felt like she should show the fish "who's boss"...so she punched it (or at least mimed punching it--wouldn't want to hurt the light up fish!).




These two lovebirds were taking their wedding photos at the Cloud Gate...they were so cute!




Neat buildings.






There was a wedding photo session going on at Cloud Gate. I loved the color scheme of the wedding, as well as the idea of taking wedding photos with that sculpture.




Buckingham Fountain...enough said.

I loved the architecture of the Fermilab, although the lab itself was quite dry...





I love Chicago buildings!



This photo is really blurry, but I still like it--it was taken from the top of the John Hancock Tower at night, which was an AMAZING view.

IHOPstravaganza...


Today, some of us--Jenna, Joni, Allison, Rose, and I--went to IHOP for a super-fun time of eating and such. Here's the documentation of our visit ;)

Needless to say, we had a fantastic time :)
