The best part about a taper is when you get a small portion of your life back allowing you to enjoy life like a normal person.
Yesterday I took a wonderfully deserved extra rest day and had a date with my city.
The sun was shining, there was a light breeze in the air, and light seemed to glimmer off of everything that is uniquely urban.
Maybe I hate tourists crowding up my city, but I sure as heck like being one.
Glad you're able to appreciate the taper - I feel like I went crazy during mine! But having such a great city to explore certainly helps :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures!! I love CHicago!!! Planning to get up there for a family day in July again... to be a tourist! :)
ReplyDeleteAll your great pictures make me want to go crowd up Chicago. Enjoy your taper! Soo excited to get to my taper in a month.

ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
ReplyDeleteRest HARD!
Ahh. I miss Chicago. :) Especially this time of year.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos... i've been to Chicago as a kid (6th grade) and look forward to seeing the sites one day. I work in SF and encounter tourists all the time. I guess it's the price we pay for living in such beautiful cities.
ReplyDeleteLove love love these photos! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE CHICAGO!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics from the city on a perfect day! :)
ReplyDeleteUgh, the tourists really crowd it up. I feel frustrated just walking to the train station!
I feel the same way! Tourists drive me nuts but I love exploring! :) Great pics!
ReplyDeletewhat lovely photos of our beautiful city!
ReplyDeleteAhh I love our gorgeous city! I get annoyed with tourists too but I always find myself whipping out my camera and taking photos of the city. Total hypocrisy :) but the city sights are irresistible!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great city you have to play in! Beautiful pics. Living near DC, I am not a fan of tourists,either, but I do like playing one as well. Enjoy the rest of your rest!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pix. I can't wait to be a tourist in Chicago - I have only been there on business.
ReplyDeleteI hate tourists in NYC - they drive me crazy trying to get to places for work.
