Have you ever met someone online who became a true friend?

In this Chicago vlog, I finally got to meet my YouTube friend Dez, from her YouTube channel - Dez | Style, Beauty & Life. After years of supporting each other's channels and chatting through our monthly YouTube creators group. What started as an online friendship turned into an unforgettable day exploring one of my favorite cities.

Join us as we:
❤️ Visit Millennium Park and see Cloud Gate (The Bean)

❤️ Take the famous Chicago Architecture River Cruise

❤️ Enjoy incredible skyline views from Cindy's Rooftop

❤️ Laugh through an unexpected visit to a lively piano bar

❤️ Explore Taste of Chicago in Grant Park

❤️ Visit Buckingham Fountain

Living in the Chicago suburbs for over 30 years, I've visited the city many times—but this trip was extra special because of the wonderful company.

If you enjoy travel, friendship, lifestyle, and discovering fun things to do in Chicago, I hope you'll enjoy coming along!

If you're new here, welcome! My channel is all about fashion, beauty, travel, and life over 50.

❤️ Thanks so much for watching!
