One of the most beautiful spots in Chicago, The Al One of the most beautiful spots in Chicago, The Albert Caldwell Lily Pool, is open again, and blooming. Today we saw turtles, ducks, geese, dragonflies and, of course, lily pads. No frogs yet, so we will have to keep going. We are lucky to have so many green spaces to explore within walking distance, and while living in the city. Thanks to @lpconservancy for making it possible!!! 🌳🌿🐢🦆 Uno de los sitios más bonitos de Chicago ha vuelto a abrir después del invierno. Hoy hemos dado un paseo hasta la Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool, y hemos visto tortugas, patos, gansos, libélulas y nenúfares. Es una suerte tener tantos espacios verdes a mano en la ciudad. #lilypool #alfredcaldwelllilypool #chicago #lincolnpark #lpconservancy #brothers #hermanos #siblings #walk #citykids #urbankids #nature #naturaleza
After a crazy week, we were able to celebrate D’ After a crazy week, we were able to celebrate D’s First Communion. He was genuinely excited and happy, and he had a great day celebrating with his best friends. These occasions are always a bit weird when you are far from home, but good friends always make it better. 💙🧒🏼 Después de una semana de locos, pudimos celebrar la primera comunión de D. Estaba emocionado y feliz, y se lo pasó muy bien celebrándolo con sus mejores amigos. Estas ocasiones son siempre un poco raras cuando estás lejos de casa, pero estar con buenos amigos siempre ayuda. #firstcommunion #comunión #momoffourboys #motherhood #maternidad #nestinginchicago #olmca #littleD
On Sunday, to celebrate Spanish Mother’s Day, we On Sunday, to celebrate Spanish Mother’s Day, we went to the Cherry Tree Grove behind the @msichicago It was cloudy, windy and cold, as this seemingly never ending Winter has been. But it was also beautiful, and felt like a micro vacation, at least we got out of the house for a few hours. Somehow I didn’t know about it until last year, but it deserves at least a yearly visit. 🌸🌳🌸 Para celebrar el día de la madre español, que es el que me importa, fuimos a ver los cerezos en flor detrás del Museo de Ciencia e Industria. Hacía frío y viento, pero mereció la pena, porque a pesar de este invierno que no se acaba, estaba precioso. #cherryblossoms #chicago #cerezos #japanesegarden #diadelamadre #mothersday #msi #chicago #nestinginchicago
I didn’t go out for a long long time. And I love I didn’t go out for a long long time. And I love going out with a vengeance. The last few weeks I have been catching up with friends, some of whom I hadn’t seen in months or even years. (Thank you Covid!) This time it was the turn of the lovely @palomachicago , and I can’t think of a better oasis for a workweek night than Beatnik, it’s vive, its food, and drinks like this “El Guapo”, which puts most men to shame. To friends, to encounters, to life! #chicago #chicagorestaurants #goingoutinchicago #bestcocktail #mezcal #ElGuapo #beatnik #bonhommies #friends @palomachicago @beatnikrestaurants
