Dana was the most gracious of hosts. She's seriously the sweetest and planned a great weekend. And Sami is really is full of shenanigans. Girlfrand busted out in song and dance during a boat ride we took! These ladies are amazing.
We were lucky enough to have Chris of Chubbette Tales with us all weekend as well. Chris in two words: hilarious and fabulous. It was great having her and Dana show us around all weekend! And because the trip was above and beyond we also got to hang out with Paige of Little Nostalgia all day Friday and Mary of Little Bit of Class Little Bit of Sass for dinner Saturday.

Dinner at RPM (Giuliana and Bill Rancic's restaurant) | lobster caprese salad | Sami & me | Me, Chris & Sami
The Chicago skyline during the day, at sunset, and at night
Unfortunately I didn't get any great pictures of the three of the Weekend Update hosts together, or even a decent one of Dana and me. I think Dana did though so I'll have to steal her photos ;)

Aw that's so awesome you girls got to meet...and in Chicago too!
look so fun! I would probably die if I had to sit on that glass thing looking down!
I love Chicago! Looks like an awesome weekend. How fun that you three got together.
Thanks for coming to visit. I have some cute pictures that I'll email you. I hope your toes have defrosted even though it was a total heat wave in Chicago. (Going to be in the high 60s today!) I had such a fun weekend with everyone!
Hey there! I'm a new follower through the blog hop! This is my first time doing this specific link up and I love that each of the hosts were together in Chicago, which is my hometown. Made it all the more special for me to visit your pages! :D Thanks for hosting!

So jealous you got to go to RPM! It's on my list of to-dos the next time I'm in Chicago. Love the pics. My favorite is the very last one. The skyline looks beautiful and I love how you can see the Ferris wheel all lit up from Navy Pier!

So glad you had an awesome time in Chicago. It is absolutely time for me to find time to fly there and experience this marvelous city for myself. Love the picture where you are sitting in the glass elevator (possibly?!). Scary and cool at the same time.

That looks like such a fun weekend! I have never been to Chicago, but I really do need to check it out!
How fun! The picture of you sitting on the glass floor makes me dizzy just looking at it haha. Looks like you had a blast.
Sounds like a fun time! The picture of you sitting on the glass makes me weak...I would be WAY to afraid to do that, a little afraid of heights.
Looks like you had SO much fun! That pic of you sitting on the skydeck is super super cute. New fb profile pic??

I am so ABSOLUTELY jealous of your incredible weekend! Oh, how I would LOVE to hang out with each one of you lovely ladies! Looks like a great time!! :)
What an awesome weekend. So many bloggers! You all look so cute. Though I don't know how you were all so bundled up in 50 degrees! I still love that skydeck picture so much. And it still freaks me out! I love that you went to RPM! My brother was there last weekend too for the Seahawks game. He said he loves Chicago and was surprised by how much there was to see and do. I'm adding it to my travel bucket list!
i loved chicago! i've only been once but really want to go back!
I'm totally jealous of your weekend! My uncles use to live in Chicago when I was teenager and we would go up there and visit them all the time. I haven't been there since college though and I have been dying to go back!!!!!!!! This post made me want to go even more!
Aw that was so awesome you were able to meet up with other bloggers. I've never been to Chicago but would love to, looks like a great city :)
