Hey y’all!

I was going to post this later in the week, but I just can’t wait any longer! Here is the rest of my Chicago recap!

On Friday, we met for brunch, then headed over to Millennium Park.

The bean was very cool!

After the park, we went on the Chicago Movie Tour!

There are so many movies that have been filmed in Chicago!

The tour started at McDonald’s so I got my first fountain Dr. Pepper of the trip! I was a happy girl!

Be sure to check Neely’s blog for more tour pictures!

Friday night we had dinner with Meghan’s husband, brother, his fiance, and her friends Sally, Julie, and Christy. Loved getting to hang out with all of them!

After dinner was the New Kids on the Block & Backstreet Boys concert!

13 year old Ashley, Neely, Meghan, Sally, Christy, and Julie were all VERY happy!

Jordin Sparks opened for them! I loved her on American Idol, so I was very excited to get to see her!

Soooo excited!

NKOTBSB!

The New Kids went out into the audience. I zoomed in when Jonathan was walking to Meghan, Sally, Christy, & Julie! So cool!

My favorite New Kid & Backstreet Boy
Joey & Brian!

Saturday morning, we had cupcakes for breakfast!

I had one called Cookie Monster

It had chocolate chip cookie dough in the center! Yummers!

We had lunch at Billy Goat Tavern & Grill

The cheeseburger was WONDERFUL!

After food, we went to Wrigleyville. The Bears were playing the Yankees.

Saturday night, we met Sally, Julie, and Danielle for dinner, along with Neely’s childhood friend Kelly and our Twitter friend Sara!

We ate at Enoteca, and it was really good!

After dinner we went to The Shambles. A chill evening turned into a huge dance party, featuring music by Toto, Bieber, Miley, Kelly Clarkson, BSB, and others. I think I will just let the pictures speak for themselves.

I just heart her!

The girl saw my camera out, grabbed Neely and these guys, and yelled “TAKE OUR PICTURE!” We have no idea who she was.

Pretty sure that Justin Bieber was playing when I took this picture!

I love these pictures of Meghan and Neely!

Oh the bird…

Sunday, we slept in, grabbed lunch, then hung out at Meghan’s apartment until it was time to go to the airport.

Aside from the sickness I developed on the flight, we made it back to Dallas without any complications.

I miss these girls already! We had such a wonderful time, and it was super hard to leave not knowing when any of us will see each other again.

Meghan, thanks so much again for everything! I am so glad that I finally got to meet you in person! You are super sweet and I wish you lived closer to us!

Neely, I heart you so much, and I loved getting to spend more time with you. We are going to need to get together again very soon!
