While in town visiting for a short couple days, I made sure to hit up a couple of Chicago Breweries. Prioritizing a couple I had never been to, and also hitting some mainstay staples. The first new to me brewery was Solemn Oath. Since opening back in 2012, they have just grown both from a capacity perspective to having multiple brands. The location is quaint, nicely decorated, and pretty crowded for a weekday. I was lucky enough to hang at the bar with a friendly person’s pup for a while, since I was missing my little goofball at home. I had a flight of beers and took my time enjoying each. The Promise Kept: An Imperial Stout aged in barrels. Beautifully balanced with nice notes of dark cacao and espresso grinds. The Knowledge Gained: A Coffee Stout aged twelve months in bourbon barrels. They used Manbot Coffee roast that gives nice bitter roast notes without being acidic or astringent. Waterfowl: A Helles that they aged in Oak Foeders. Very drinkable lager that goes down easy with a bready malt character and spicy hop bitterness. Clean, crisp, and downright easy going. VIBES SINCE 1920: An American Pale Ale that hits all the spots of an OG APA. This one was created by the women of Chicago Craft Beer and has the traditional grapefruit, resin, and pine notes you want out of an APA. _____ @solemnoathbeer #beer #craftbeer #solemnoathbrewery #chicago #chicagobeer #illinoisbeer #drinkingbeer #visitillinois #brewery #brewerytown #beercity #brewerylife #beerlife #drinkmorebeer #morebeer #goodlife #fridayfeeling #livingthedream

Red-tailed hawk. I can spot at least 5 of these just driving to a store! 😀 We say "Happy hawk day" every time we see one 😄 They always look so majestic. Their flying speed is 20-40 m.p.h. They can reach up to 120 m.p.h. when diving. Their diet includes small mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and insects. During the Middle Ages, artists suggested nobility or high social class by depicting a hawk on the arm of a man on horseback. Red-tailed hawks mate for life. #redtailedhawk #birdphotographer #illinois #birding #bird #nature #birdphoto #summer #naturephotos #naturelovers #birdnerd #photography #naturelover #travel #nature_perfection #enjoyillinois #ornithology #orthinology #naturephotography #natureshots #vacation #birdwatching #visitillinois #naturephoto #birdphotography #birdphoto #wildlifephotography #sigma150600

Fern Clyffe State Park had to be my favorite spot that I visited in #southernillinois 😍 The hiking trails were 👌 - Once I started on my first trail, I was actually sad that I didn't bring my running shoes because it was PERFECT for running! But Caya and I still enjoyed a couple of the trails. I wish I would've had more time to do all of the trails, but this was Eclipse Day, and I had a lot to do! Fern Clyffe is located in Goreville, IL, and I think it is DEFINITELY worth a visit. I actually had no idea where I was going when I first arrived in the park. I just kept driving until I landed in the parking lot where most of the trail heads were. I wish I could go back just for this! #visitillinois #fernclyffestatepark #hikeillinois #hikingtrails #easyhikes #weekendhikes #adventureoutside

The St. Charles Municipal Building was designed by architect R. Harold Zook's firm. The design is heavily influenced by the Art Deco movement with elements of Art Moderne. The exterior façade is of Georgia "Cherokee" marble with faceted zigzag and chevron patterns. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. #stcharlesil #illinois #enjoyillinois #visitillinois #igerschicago #chiarchitecture #wu_chicago #mychicagopix #likechicago #artofchi #artdeco #artmoderne #moderne #artdecoarchitecture #buildings_illife #buildingswow #chasingfacades #tv_buildings #excellent_structure #architecture #archi_ologie #fever_building #asi_es_edificios #spring #springtime #springblooms #tulips

🤩 Gah!! I cannot wait and am so honored to have been invited to return to the haunted Orpheum Theatre in Champaign IL on MAY 4TH to divine for the The Beltane Bash for the second year running!! AAAAANND coupled with how energetically powerful and fantasic Brian L Ward & Mental Ward Productions' conventions are known to be... this will be my last convention attendance in the Midwest before my cross-country move. There you have it.. THREE reasons to ensure you purchase your ticket. 1) hello, HAUNTED & gorgeous theatre! 2) Beltane Bash & anything coordinated by Mental Ward Productions is *chef's kiss* 3) LAST chance to see me before I morph into a Pacific Northwesternian (it's a word! ...now). @mentalwardproductions @darkhistoryhorrorcon @orpheumchampaign . . . . . #magickalaf #hauntedaf #hauntedtheatre #horrorcon #inclusivity #allie #psychicmedium #tarotreadings #osteomancy #champaignillinois #thingstodoinchampaign #visitillinois

Your child’s first teacher is you. Are you teaching your child to love learning? This is the number 1 goal of 21st century education;love of learning. You achieve this by reading to your child (grandchild) and exposing them to different experiences. Talk and share with them. 6000 Studebaker wagons were made in South Bend, Indiana and used in the Civil War. What Stark County resident saved this wagon?

It's #Tourist Tuesday, and we want to discuss a newish trend--Slow Tourism. Slow tourism encompasses a deliberate and unhurried exploration of destinations, emphasizing the journey as much as the destination itself. It involves meandering through scenic routes, stopping to admire breathtaking landscapes, and immersing oneself in the local culture along the way. When you stay at Hawk Valley Retreat & Cottages, you can use it as your home base to explore the scenic Driftless Area and the many quaint historic towns in the tri-state area. Start each morning with a hearty, homemade breakfast and a stroll around our mile-long walking trail through the pine forest, rolling hills, and engaging farm animals. Our well-appointed cottages and main house suites provide a perfect relaxation space to get yourself ready for a day of exploring. Our latest Blog Post has all the details, but here is a quick list of some of our favorite places to explore when staying at Hawk Valley https://hawkvalleyretreat.com/2024/04/11/slow-tourism-in-the-driftless-region/ . . . #slowtourism #RelaxRestoreExplore #BreakfastInTheBarn #GalenaIL #GalenaIllinois #Galena #GalenaCountry #EnjoyIllinois #Midwest #MidwestExploring #MidwestMoment #MidwestIsBest #GalenaBedAndBreakfast #OnlyInIllinois #VisitIllinois #MidwestLife #MidwestTravel #IllinoisGetaway #MWInns

Do I sometimes feel like the Beverly Hillbillies in our neighborhood? Yes, yes I do. 👩🏻‍🌾 We are definitely fish out of water and not your typical suburban neighbors. One of the neighbor kids commented on how my grass was dead and I was like “that’s great! It’s a garden!” To all the people doing things a little differently than their neighbors BRAVO! Who decided green lawns and straight mow lines were the thing anyway?! Embrace what makes you come alive and ya know, celebrate your neighbors too!
