One of our favorite places to walk lately is around the University of Chicago’s main campus. I feel like I’ve been instantly transported to some castle or secret garden in England as soon as we enter the main quad. We usually like to stroll along Lake Michigan since we live so close to it, but its closure the past few weeks has forced us to explore new spots which I now enjoy just as much!

We filled our backpacks with our bibles, journals, a big blanket and some Ningxia (my favorite healthy energy drink that comes in the premium starter kit) to enjoy an afternoon under the sun. I’m so grateful for the courageous men and women who have lost their lives fighting for our freedom. I hope you enjoy this long weekend with your family and loved ones.

bloom + grow forever,
