You don't really think of Chicago as having beaches, but of course yes... yes, it does. On one of our off days during tour we decided to venture out of our cozy abode and go down to one of my brother's favorite spots in the city at sunset. He says "this is where I come to throw rocks and think things over." Evidently he's not the only one mesmerized by the rocks (see the 'cairn' or stack of rocks above). But we have to agree, this is quite the spot to see the city.

The outfit Melody wore was one she was excited about. This is the jacket she had to buy because it looked so similar to something from the Burberry Prorsum lines. Actually this whole outfit was inspired (and just maybe an out-right copy) of this look from the Resort 2013 collection.  Yep, some people really like Burberry over here. Jacket is H&M (in stores now), Pants are from H&M but older (similar here and here), striped tee is H&M (you must buy this similar one now) and bag is from a store called Taipan.
