I had a day off of work. My sister had a day off of work. We decided, one morning as we woke up in St. Louis, MO, that we would go to sleep in Chicago, IL that night. The only thing that stood between us was a five hour drive. Sure, part of my car’s exhaust pipe fell off on the way there, and sure we barely slept, and yes we got lost about 2,405 times, but we had a great day in Chicago. Below are some photographs from the trip’s adventures. [Nikon D7000 with a 50mm lens is my go-to set up for travel photography, as it is light and discreet.]
