Hi we are back!!
We tried to find a way to blog about our travels. Since it was such a long trip we decided to break it up into two posts. In Today’s post will cover Chicago and Indy and Friday will be all about the Kentucky Derby.

Chicago
Eats
When talking about our trip we all seem to go right to talking about the food. It’s no secret that the 3 of us are all “foodies” so it would only be fitting to talk to you about our favorite food items.

Beatrix:
Best breakfast spot in Chicago!! Okay, the only breakfast spot in Chicago we went to, but we were so impressed we kept going back. Fresh pressed juice, local ingredients, and plenty of healthy options made it worth the trip each time.

If you like to get a little adventurous with your food then this is the place for you. We had pig face, beef tongue, and goat and we loved it all. I think you have to try this restaurant at least once. They also had more traditional items on the menu that were just as delicious.
RPM Italian:
Mmmmm I could go to RPM everyday for their Chicken Parm. More traditional than the other restaurants we hit up but not disappointing in the least.
Sights
We saw all the major sights, including the bean, shopping on Michigan Ave, and the Architectural boat tour. Chicago is such a great walkable city and you can spend 2 full days seeing everything downtown. I’m sad we didn’t have enough time this trip to venture out of downtown because there are so many other great neighborhoods. Chicago architecture is beyond beautiful and the best way to see if by far is by boat. We would of preferred a warmer day, but none the less it was beautiful.

And how can you not go to Chicago without a classic “bean” photo!
Lastly our favorite part of the trip was going to see comedy at The Second City. Holy smokes, this was a kick in the pants. I was hesitant to see what the buzz was all about, but I had been dying to go see it. From my understanding Second City is the training ground for many great comedians that end up on SNL. It is very SNL like which tons of sketches and different characters, but minus all the props. We were all dying with laughter, if you go to Chicago this would be on our MUST list.
Not going to lie…. the martini’s might of made it a little funnier!
Indianapolis
We didn’t have a ton of time in Indy, less than 24 hours, but we tried our best to see it. We stayed mostly downtown and fell in love with Massachusetts Ave.

We may have indulged in the drinking department while in Chicago so a little comfort food was inevitable while we were in Indy. These burgers were delish and just what we needed.
Mesh on Mass Ave:

We grabbed a quick dinner here our only night in Indy. Everything was good but we both walked away raving about the Tuna Stack. I am not sure this is a must, but if you do go the Tuna is for sure! The flavors were very unique and we sure enjoyed a healthy dinner.
Sights
We were surprised how beautiful the city was. And how CLEAN everything was. We spend the morning walking about all the monuments and taking some blog photos for future Fashion Friday posts. We randomly ended up going to Indy and I’m so glad we did. We both didn’t realized how many monuments it had and how walkable of a city it was. I’ll share with you some of our favorite photos of the city.

Lastly, we went to a cool old cigar bar called Nicky Blaine’s. It felt like we were stepping back into time. It’s old world sophisticated vibe was the perfect for us to end the night. All in all we were so glad we took the time to stop in Indy. I wish we could of stayed longer cause my friend Kristin had given us a ton of other areas to check out. But there wasn’t enough time, because we had the Derby to attend! More about that on Friday:)
