My version of heaven has an Olympic-sized pool, @thecontainerstore and @nationalwestern Stockyards. I love this pool.
I’m so happy that the ARC at @illinois1867 allows members to bring young children in the outside pool. My little one had a blast tonight. Where is your favorite place to swim with kids in the summer? #discoverillinois
Perfect place for a quick after work stroll
Back at it! It’s been a while!
Sometimes you just need a glad of wine in the middle of a Saturday afternoon…
One of my favorite places for a lunch in @lakeshelbyville
I liked this outpost near the Garden of the Gods- I picked up a small gift for a special friend.
Heeeeey there cutie. 🚲
Finally made it to the Garden of the Gods! This has been on my list for the last year when a mini-vacation planned for here was canceled. Pictures are from the Observation Trail -it is about .5 miles. My little one loved the cobblestone trail until he fell and hit his head! So be careful with little ones who are just learning to walk. Beautiful views-well worth the trip.
Loved today’s trek at Middle Fork - 📸 by @kristintiana
First time checking out the cafe at @allertonpark -nice place to grab a refreshment after a walk
One bag of books for me and one for my child. Popped in to grab lunch while I was here. And now a moment of zen before I return back to the madness of work..
Shhhh don’t tell… I’m surprising the @lakeshelbyville @rinckerlaw office with this goodness this morning from @pekarabakery .. Also love the Ukranian colored #macaroons. #champaign #discoverillinois

First 3k walk with the baby
First time grocery shopping in person since the pandemic hit 2 years ago.., can’t wait tor fressshhhhhh almond butter!
All you can eat pizza buffet at @monicalspizza is my new fav post-hike lunch…
What a lovely hike! I searched for this trail using the #AllTrails app at Weldon Springs. It was a moderate level 2 mile hike around the lake. It was one of my favorite hikes so far. I was here last summer/fall for a 5K race. I will definitely be back… #weldonsprings
Last night, I took the baby with the stroller on the Post Oak Trail at Giant City State Park to explore (still WIP) and this morning we started the Nature Trail. It was marked “rugged” so we aborted. I wanted an easier trail for my little one. Arrowwood trail is marked “easy” and near the Visitor’s Center so it was a better fit. My little one needed a nap so we took a scenic drive to @altovineyards about 25 Minutes away. What a lovely morning!
Enjoyed dinner last night at the @giantcitylodge
Downtown Makanda near @giantcitystatepark
Mornings.
Snowy walk this morning.
