Chicago – Day 5

For our last day in Chicago, we finally slept in a bit and had a lazy start.  We caught the bus up to Lincoln Park for brunch at Toast, which was very yummy (I had Pesto Scramble with Brioche toast).  We had a 45 minute wait to get in, so we wandered a couple blocks to preview the shopping first.  After breakfast we hit the walking and shopping full force, tackling most of the Lincoln Park neighborhood.  There were a surprising amount of shops closed for Memorial Day, but it was still fun.  I got treats at Sweet Mandy B’s (M&M cookie, a star shaped,frosted shortbread cookie, and flourless chocolate cake baked like a cupcake) and a couple things at CB2.

All good things must come to an end though, so we soon had to get home, pack and drive out to O’Hare.  We made final stop at Fox & Obel for airplane snacks, then bid Erin adieu.  Fun weekend!
