weekend in Chicago

by Lori and Michelle on August 14, 2011

I was in Chicago all weekend working with Raw Threads while Lori stayed home and did work. here are some pictures of my weekend.


Read Carrots n Cake’s book – a great read!! Loved the book! Tina is a great writer and has a great story. I just have a few chapters left to read.

and it begins

our lovely booth

after set-up we got to walk around Chicago some

big sis and I

a new favorite flavor combo…a banana, tahini and yacon syrup

day 1 outfit

playing around with some TRX

day 2 outfit…

did not take too many pictures after this as I was getting tired and had to take down the booth, which is never fun haha

Did manage to have one last good meal and a little fun my last night in Chicago. I am home now and it feels good to be home. Not sure if Chicago stands as one of my favorite cities as this expo was not the best, the people were a little rude compared to other races we have been too.

time to unpack and get back to work.

till next time,

Michelle

Thanks for sharing all the photos. Scott is from Chicago and I lived there for years before we turned into nomads moving to the Carolinas for a few yrs and then to CA!

Sorry you didn’t ‘love’ your experience there though. Wish I could have been there to show you around and shop together :)

Averie, the funny thing is love Chicago been there a few times and have a great time, but for some reason at this race expo the people were very rude. so kinda made the Chicago trip not so fun. Yes would have loved you there to show us around!

Oh my goodness, I’m sorry to hear you didn’t have the best experience with the people! Please only limit that attitude to the expo people and not the rest of the city, as I promise we are friendly as can be :)

Oh Laura, yes it was mostly geared to the people at expo.
