Chicago Girls' Trip 2022

My girls' trip to Chicago in December is one of my favorite weekends of the entire year. It is a weekend full of good friends, good food, and laughter. This year was certainly no different.

Cranberry mimosas on the flight

We knew we were in for a lot of laughter during this trip when it started with me literally having to jump in the bed of the truck of our Uber driver's truck to retrieve our luggage. We had an older man as our driver and he was planning to get our luggage out with his cane. There is no way I would allow that and just hopped up in the back of the truck and got our bags. We all had a good laugh over it.

We dropped our stuff off at the Palmer House and headed to one of our favorite places, The Purple Pig.

My festive drink at Purple Pig. It was delicious.

Michelle's friend Ann joined us at the Purple Pig and asked if we could go to Pops for a bottle of champagne. Yes! It is one of our favorite places!

We left Pops and said farewell to Ann as we made our way to the Christkindlmarkt. It was so busy. We were able to enjoy a little gluhwein, buy some candied nuts, and buy a few items.

A gorgeous view walking back to the Palmer House. I love the views of crossing the bridges along the river.

We went back to the Palmer House and enjoyed drinks while listening to live music around the bar.  It was a great end to a wonderful day.

We woke up on Sunday and I went to the hotel gym for a run. Afterward, we got ready and took an Uber to Wrigleyville for brunch.

Festive decorations at our brunch spot.

Bottomless mimosas anyone???

We left our brunch spot and went to the Wrigleyville Christkindlmarkt. I absolutely love this market. The drink and food options are amazing.

Trying to get a photo with the Wrigley Field sign. We failed.

We went back to the Palmer House and enjoyed some wine at the bar. There was a different guy there singing and playing the guitar and he was phenomenal. I ended up singing and dancing along and there may be a few videos of that.

Just in case you are wondering how much fun I am.

We ended the night with face masks in our room. It was a fantastic trip and it was home to Kansas City the next morning. Here's to laughing until you cry!!! I cannot wait for next year!
