My 20th Birthday!

Saturday, August 18, 2012

Happy weekend everyone! Yesterday was my 20th birthday, I know I know, "the birthday of nothing," but I have to say, my twenties are off to a fantastic start so far! I'm from a suburb right outside Chicago and I love the city atmosphere, so for my birthday I rode a train into the city with my best friend in the world and the greatest boyfriend on the planet. The 3 of us had a blast roaming the city, eating good food, taking fabulous pictures just about everywhere, and of course shopping on Michigan Avenue! Later on, my family met us down there for a lovely dinner and some night strolling. I can't think of a more perfect way to have spent my birthday and it served as great closure to the summer (I leave for school back in NC in only 5 days)! 

Here are some of my favorite shots from yesterday's birthday festivities: 

The train ride down! 

 We found so many beautiful gardens 

I love how we both matched in our white dresses! 







Of course there has to be a back shot! 



The iconic Bean in Millenium Park 





The Foot pond! Such a refreshing spot to relax and soak 

Where we had dinner- Hub 51. It was very trendy and full of life! Excellent food 

That's a true image of best friends right there 

We like to breakout in dance...and sometimes even song! 

Arguably the most beautiful fountain ever created 

My little sister! <3 

 The Chicago skyline is so beautiful at night. I love being by the water too- makes for a pretty perfect picture


I couldn't have asked for a better birthday!
