Natalie and I went down to Chicago / Schaumburg area a couple weekends ago with our neighbors. We hadn’t spent hardly any time in Chicago in the past so it was great to have top notch tour guides to show us all Chicago had to offer. If you’re ever in Schaumburg…do yourself a favor and stop at Thai Garden. The best Thai food we’ve ever had hands down! Tell them Alex & Natalie sent you. My 1st bubble tea experience in Chinatown was very cool too!

Two wedding parties were standing by the Bean in Millennium Park waiting for their photographers to take their pictures. At first I thought it was an odd place for wedding photography, as there are so many people around, but then I realized that it was such a neat / contemporary location. All the chaos of the passersby make any wedding day chaos seem a bit more normal.

I retract all…well most of the snide comments I’ve ever said about Illinois.
