Evanston and Surrounding Suburbs

Headed out to enjoy the last days of Summer by going north to Evanston, Illinois; a city about 15 miles, and 30 minutes, north of downtown Chicago. It's a quick and visually appealing drive, and the payoff once you reach your destination is worth it. The high quality and incredible quantity of houses fill the expansive neighborhoods until they reach the coast of Lake Michigan. Iconic architecture and great outdoor space make Evanston a truly unique addition to the greater Chicagoland area.

Edgewater Beach Hotel








Band camp on Labor Day?


Went to Walker Bros or breakfast. The line was long, but it moved pretty quickly. Omelette was good and the pancakes were really good!




One of my favorite places on the trip, the Baha'i Temple. It's very impressive to see in person. The grounds are impeccable as well.






The harbor is basically directly across the street. Really nice boats in there.
























Next, we went to Gillson Park to take the beautiful Lake Mchigan. It was a bit breezy off the lake, but the sun kept it warm and comfortable.






The brick road we parked on.




We went a bit further north to Winnetka to see the "Home Alone" house. "Keep the change, ya filthy animal!" Ha


Cool road out heading back to Sheridan.


Hope you enjoyed!
