Friday we ventured downtown to check out the Blackhawks Rally with a couple million of our closest friends. After the confetti settled, we meandered around the Loop for awhile in hopes of finding a McDonalds that wasn’t bursting at the seams with hungry Hawks fans.

Found one!

After lunch, we headed east to Grant Park to check out my favorite festival of the year, Bluesfest! After spending 3 1/2 hours wandering around in the heat it was nice to sit down in the park and listen to some good music. Bluesfest has always signified the beginning of summer for me. The crowd was light but it was starting to fill up a little. It was pretty early as far as Bluesfest goes. Sorta nice though compared to the rally. Couldn’t move around much at all there, that’s for sure!

I didn’t make that many pictures this year. I was more interested in people pictures for the rally and the fest this year and kept my eyes open for potentially interesting frames at each venue. Bluesfest always has an ample supply of interesting people so it’s not that tough to find a few!

We ended up staying around for only a couple of hours but it was quality time, that’s for sure!  I’m glad we stopped by on Friday. Saturday had to be a wet one.

I started uploading my pictures to Lightroom as soon as we got home. I pretty much filled 3 cards and Kieran filled 1. It was going to take a while!

Helloooooooo Summer!!!
