My Weekend Recap: Chicago & Portage

I got to spend a few days with two of the most beautiful human beings in the world (Clarissa & Hannah) in Chicago and Portage and here are a few of my favorite moments (besides seeing them of course). 💛 #chicagotrip #chicagoexplore #chicagotravel #chicagoeats #portage

2025/3/4 Edited to

This weekend recap highlights the vibrant essence of Chicago and the charm of Portage, Indiana. As summer is just around the corner, both cities offer phenomenal experiences for travelers. In Chicago, must-try spots include Robert's Pizza and Dough Co., known for its delectable pizzas crafted from local ingredients. Those seeking cozy coffee shops will appreciate local favorites like Olive Cafe, which serves unique lattes including iced caramel almond milk—a true treat while exploring the city. Portage offers a more relaxed atmosphere, with opportunities to enjoy nature and outdoor activities. The cozy cabin vibes are perfect for weekend getaways, making it a great choice for friends looking to unwind. When planning your visit, consider exploring various outdoor parks and enjoying the local food scene. Weekend trips to these destinations not only refresh the soul but also provide a perfect backdrop for capturing unforgettable memories with loved ones. Whether you indulge in a delicious meal or relax at a cabin, the moments shared will be cherished forever.

Hey ya’ll! It’s official… I got a new car! I was previously driving a 2015 Jeep Compass with nearly 150,000 miles on it. It was a solid first car, but it came with its fair share of maintenance issues and wasn’t the most fuel-efficient. It also didn’t have any modern features—no backup camera,

Add this to your bucket list! Skating on a frozen lake in the mountains to go see a glacier. Portage Lake is one of the best lakes to ice skate in Alaska because it has many miles of skating and a glacier at the end. You can go skiing on it if there’s snow or just hike out there with snow boots.
