Beach Day in Chicago...

When we found out we were moving to Oregon, there were many things that we realized we wanted to do before we left the Chicagoland area. One of them was to take a picture with both Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline in the background, and we knew the perfect spot to do that: the Museum Campus near the Adler Planetarium. But, we needed a photographer! Well, it just so happens that our good friend, Lindsay Wogen, does just that! So I called on Lindsay and since another one of our to-do's before we left Chicago was to get in a Lake Michigan beach day, we decided to make a fun trip with the Wogen's and knock out both things at once. We were planning on going to North Avenue Beach, one of the more popular beaches in Chicago which we've been to before, after our photo session. But what we didn't realize was that there was a beach right next to the Adler Planetarium...perfect!! Talk about killing two birds with one stone :)
