So, Disneyland was my second trip of the month. My first was a weekend in Chicago to help celebrate Bel’s birthday. Despite a comfy bed and an exhausting night (maybe staying up until 2 a.m. isn’t an issue when I was a college student in Chicago, but it’s a different thing 20 years later), I was up early enough our first full day for a quick morning run. So, these are my running pics. We stayed at theWit, on State and Lake (which looks WAY different than I remember, even from 10 years ago when I was in grad school), so found a quick loop to do that didn’t kill me, but burned did just enough to let me have a more than enjoyable breakfast at Glazed and Infused, a crazy (good) doughnut spot that happened to be along this run route.

That’s what we always called it. I don’t even know the official name. This is where House of Blues is, where we may or may not have spent a long night drinking

So gaudy. Thanks, Donald, thanks

Water Tower. The only time to get a shot of this is early in the morning when no one else is awake

Now when I see this I think of “Divergent” Not happy thoughts, mind you.

Now known as Macy’s. Across the street from our hotel. Miss you.

Chicago Theater, just because.

Why go running early in the morning? So I can come here later in the morning.

My kind of town

Great memories, this city.
