MidSommar Fest

MidsommarFest in Andersonville was my first summer festival in Chicago. Everyone had mentioned to me that the best time to be in Chicago is in the summertime and this experience served as a great preview. Not only was this festival running for three days, but Ribfest and Greekfest were also in the lineup for the weekend. My friends and I split it up by hitting up Andersonville on Saturday and the other two on Sunday.

Barcelona

For Easter weekend, Kelsey and I hopped over to Barcelona to meet Brigid and Jaclyn for a weekend full of sunshine, sangria, and stupidity (in the greatest way possible). We found ourselves laying on the beach, hitting up the main tourist spots including La Sagrada Familia, Parc Guell, and Casa Batllò. While the outside facades (yes plural) may seem a bit confused and not in sync with one another, the interior of La Sagrada Familia is by far one of the most overwhelmingly amazing spaces I’ve ever visited. Inspired by the natural world, especially by trees, Gaudi created a space welcoming to all faiths. The craziest part? This bad boy isn’t finished yet! Overall, an incredible weekend with the best company one could ask for.
