Oak Street Beach

Brian and our friend Chris have a triathlon coming up, and wanted to do a little swim training. So our families packed the sunscreen, beach toys and snacks (I made a Watermelon Salad with Mint and Crispy Prosciutto -- really good), and headed to Ohio Street Beach, where they have an open swim area. In all my years of living in the area, believe it or not, this was my first time going to one of the Chicago beaches, and the kids absolutely loved it.
