This past weekend a friend and I took a ride to Fort Sheridan to take in some nature. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised to find well maintained trails with gorgeous views of Lake Michigan. It was SO nice to get out of the house and into some honest to goodness nature.

The weather was my favorite kind, crisp and cool in the morning with lots of sun. We connected the two main trails to make a loop of about 2.5 miles, stopping here and there to read the signs that told about the history of the area. 

Nothing taxing or hurried or strenuous. Just good old fresh air, blue skies, and the simple act of walking with a friend. The perfect day!
