Spring Break in Pictures

I would love to write more about these, but there's too many!

This is the weather I drove home in. 

Yes, my break was only a week long. Why do you ask?

Pretty tree outside my house.

Max!

Maximus! I missed him.

A Shamrock Shake on the way to La Crosse, WI.

Jackie, my aunt and uncle's new dog.

We picked up my cousins from school. I don't think they were too embarrassed. 

Mom took Grandma and Grandpa and me to Pogreba's for Grandma's birthday.

This chicken and spinach pasta was to die for!

Mom had steak and some kind of noodles I had to look up and now can't even remember. 

Radar and Jackie, my aunt and uncle's dogs. What can I say, they love me. 

Those are eagles! We saw (at least) 20 bald eagles fishing on the river. It was awesome!

See, I did spend spring break on a beach! 
There's Grandma, Grandpa, and Mom checking out the eagles. 

I got Chipotle back home with Kate.

Getting to burn candles in my room :) Kayla and Ben bought me this for Christmas. 

Before the dye job

During the dye job

After! Woohoo!

Chicago! 
The city :)

The view from our hotel room.

We were on the 17th floor.

This was the Freudian interpretation of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Our seats were awesome!

We had Starbucks for breakfast in the Dominick's across the street from the hotel.

We ate at the Park Grill for lunch. I had a steak salad (yum!)

We could see the ice skaters and I continued to make up stories about their lives.

My first trip to the Art Institute! These sculptures of judges were funny. 

This is a famous painting.

A glass candelabra. 

A sweet teapot. 

Another famous painting. 

Hey Claude :)

These are famous.

These are famous. 

A sweet pitcher!

A cool decanter and some other sweet stuff.

Cool tea things.

A toast rack- how fancy!

This is the same red they use at Takeda.

The breakdown of the Obama campaign symbol was really interesting! 

I knew this was a Jackson Pollock without looking at the plaque. Thanks, required Fine Arts course.

Native American jug

Cool earrings

An angry, pudgy dog sculpture.

Rings with animals on them- not a brand new idea. 

Also, statement bracelets, not a new idea. 

Gilly suit-esque clothes at Arts and Artisans. I got a sweet bracelet there!


Delta who? Delta Nu!
The show was so fun!

Overall, spring break was so great. Hurray for a break in the spring!
