One of the best things about summer is when the temperature starts warming up. You don't understand. Here in the midwest, it takes a minute before it gets nice and toasty. While people travel to Mexico in January, or head down to springbreak in Miami, us midwesterners are still in winter mode. Summer doesn't officially start til the 3rd week in June, and that's unfortunately when we get highs in the low 80s. The best thing about our resilience to cold temps is the fact that we DO appreciate the warmer days whenever it does come our way.
The weekend before Memorial Weekend our friend tried to setup a day at the Montrose beach with some friends. It was slowly warming up to the high 70s, but for me, that's still too cold to wear next to nothing by the lake. I showed up in a leather jacket. Although I was the laugh of the crowd, the sun did kick in and eventually I ended up taking it off. We had some drinks at The Dock and enjoyed the weather. The street festivals were slowly starting up in Chicago, and we decided to go home and quickly change into party mode. We figured we still had some time to checkout a fest before heading out downtown. We ended up at the Belmont Shefield fest in our going out attire. lol. It was a little nippy for me in the evening, so luckily I chose a long sleeved wrap dress to stay a little warm. The Blackhawks were in the playoffs, so we decided to catch the game at Shefield's Beer Garden. It was awesome watching them win! At that point everyone was in a pretty good mood. We made our way downtown and met up with some friends at Mercadito for some cocktails. We ended the night at Celeste but in the end, we were out for a while! That's usually how it goes here in Chicago in the summer. Start off at the beach and end up in a nightclub/ lounge. lol
