We’re lucky to live about about a 30-minute drive from Lighthouse Beach in Evanston. If you’re not from the area, Evanston is basically part of Chicago; it’s right above the Rogers Park neighborhood, and it’s on the subway “El” line. It’s also home to Northwestern University, and who doesn’t love college towns?!
It’s pretty easy to fall victim to the gloom of Chicago winters, so when the sun peeked out from behind the clouds this past Thursday, we bundled up the crew and drove up to Lighthouse Beach. Lighthouse Beach is gorgeous, and if you haven’t been, I highly recommend visiting—even now. We’d never seen it in winter, but it’s currently frozen over, and in photos, you almost can’t determine where the beach stops and the water begins. In person, though, the snow-capped waves lap against the icy shore, and it’s quite the sight. It looks like the ground is swaying.
