Chicago Unique Store Day

We were all over the place. Over a breakfast of blueberry pancakes and eggs we decided we wanted to see some unique stores. They also really wanted to go to Whole Foods (they don't have whole foods in Grand Rapids). We went so many places I am going to have to list:
1. They were missing a meet so had to do mile repeats instead- exactly a mile around Navy Pier plus great way to see Navy Pier (and you even finish to music : ). I enjoyed running hard with Koster- felt like old times : )
-had lunch at my place before heading out for the following:
2. Hit up a few specialty stores in my neighborhood--Tea Gershwender, Oldtown Spice store
3. Head to hit up the Thrift Stores-- Uptown Unique Thrift, Andersonville Brown Elephant, Ragstock
4. Time to warm up: Starbucks
5. Cool jewelry store that we came across in Andersonville: The Monkey Gallery
6. Wholefoods (we hit up the samples!), no peanut butter machine so we stopped at Treasure Island to make Peanut Butter (one of Sam's musts for the trip).
7. Made deep dish pizza for dinner
8. Millennium and Grant Park for picture taking
9. Molly's Cupcakes for dessert
