saturday morning we slept in and then headed to the estate of the man who founded The Chicago Tribune, called
Cantigny. in his will, he stated that he wished it to remain free to the public and it now serves as an amazing park with glorious gardens and a beautiful mansion to tour! we could not have planned a more perfect day to visit, stumbling onto family gatherings, two wedding photo shoots and a catapult competition (ha).
 |
| one of the catapult teams-ha...love the enthusiasm! |
 |
| i had no idea mums came in these beautiful colors! they were everywhere! |
 |
| this is the Cantigny mansion. breathtaking inside too! |
 |
| love them and that little baby! |
 |
| garden party, please!! |
 |
| they had a beautiful rose garden...just past its prime but we found some beauties! |
we stopped at a local hot dog spot to pick up a Chicago dog...so yummy!
after an afternoon of shopping, we picked up some Chicago-style pizza to enjoy while watching football. i previously hadn't had great experience with this type but LOVED this-so delicious!
