Here We Go

Greetings from Chicago!!!

As soon as I arrived at the hotel, I was put to work stuffing swag bags. We have 225 attendees and a TON of swag, which means lots to do before early registration tomorrow afternoon.

Surprisingly, stuffing swag bags is a lot of work. Luckily, we had some help from other bloggers who arrived early in Chicago. Thank you, Sabrina, Julie, and Diana!!  😀

After swag bagging for nearly two hours, I checked into my hotel room, unpacked, and got settled. The rooms at The Congress Plaza Hotel definitely have an old world charm to them.

Lunch

A little while later, the swag bag stuffing crew met up again for lunch at a small cafe down the street from the hotel. Sabrina and I shared a Margarita pizza.

I ate two pieces, which were tasty and super cheesy!

I also drank an iced coffee from Dunkin' Donuts (because I'm an addict).

After lunch, I headed out for a 4-mile run + 1-mile walk along the lake. Chicago is a gorgeous city!

Dinner and a party tonight. Stay tuned!
