One of the things that drive me CRAZY about seasons changing is the fact that Chicago is never consistent. It's never a gradual thing, that's why I feel I don't get to enjoy fall altogether because it jumps right into winter. Not to mention, we are the windy city and it plays a major role in our weather forecast. Right now it's been pretty gloomy and we've had mist/ rain all weekend. I'm beginning to miss the sun terribly. Looking back on July's events isn't helping either, but at least it makes me smile knowing I tried my best to enjoy my summer.
First up, July 4th! Since this year it fell on a Saturday, Chicago was pretty empty by Thursday. Lots of people travel back home for the holidays, so for the most part, things seem pretty quiet around here. I went to a rooftop party to watch the neighborhood fireworks go off. I LOVED IT!! Neighborhoods were battling with each other on who threw the best show. At one point, you didn't know where to look for some firework action! I had a great time catching up with my friends...
The following weekend I headed out on a boat for a birthday party. Everybody brought something to munch on. We headed out to the Playpen on Lake Michigan. For those who don't know, the "Playpen" is a spot right in front of the Chicago skyline where boats meet up and chain themselves together in order to have a huge party out on the lake. There's music and dancing plus you get to make new friends. The water was pretty choppy that day, and we didn't get a chance to stay out there too long due to the weather, but we had a blast regardless. So far July was alright...

| Too bad the water was to choppy and it started to rain on us. It was my only time on the boat this summer... |
