Jennifer Nettles in Chicago!

Last weekend I got to go see Jennifer Nettles in Chicago! We ended up standing about 4 rows from the stage which was great! The concert wasn't as good as when it was Sugarland, but it was still so good to hear her sing.

This is a 12 string guitar that I wish I could have. We jammed out in the music store for awhile. The sound on this thing is incredible.

And this is the mandolin I almost bought. It was more in my price range, but I don't think I'd use it often. 

We went to a baseball game! These are teams that the CR Kernels play against. I love going to minor league games.

Here we are! Baseball selfie!

There was a gymnastics(ish) team that did a bunch of fun stunts after the game. They were FLYING!

This french toast is to die for. Orange zest & glaze. Yummmm.

And, I can't JUST eat french toast. I need the eggs, bacon, and pears to go with it.

There were also fireworks after the game!

This was breakfast on Saturday morning--truffles, cake, gelato...only on vacation!

This guy was missing me all weekend.

I got ALLLLLL this jewelry and the scarves at Charming Charlie. My favorite store that is nowhere near Iowa.

And, a Grannyism from my tea that I like to drink--don't sit too close to the tv. Sounds familiar ;)
