That moment you realize Sunday isn't so bad because you don't have to work Monday. 😍☀️🏜 (at Old Town Scottsdale)

I love everything about this (except that he's not playing for a National title tomorrow) ❤️💙🏀So well deserved!! #ROCKCHALK

The calm after the storm. Celebrating survival with a little fun in the sun! 👏🏼😩🎉 (at Farm and Craft Scottsdale)

I ❤️this team. And Will's photobomb. #ROCKCHALK #kubball ❤️🏀💙 (at Theory Sports Bar and Grill)

This morning, despite having a 19 hour work day the day before, I drug myself out of bed to go for a run (because how can you not run on the coast of Spain??) Haven't felt that amazing in a long time. Physically and mentally. #lifedoesexistoutsidework 😍🇪🇸 (at Barcelona Beach)

Last night we ate at the coolest place that I don't even know how to describe. Like several little restaurants and bars all in one indoor market. Thanks @lovethejayhawks for the reco!! #Barcelona #lanacional (at La Nacional)

First things first. Arrive in Barcelona 🇪🇸Get sangria 🍷#workperks #theonlyone

Discovered the most amazing handmade custom shoe shop in Cape Town! Designed a pair espadrilles at the #BiscuitMill and when I went to the shop to pick them up, I got two more pair 😳😍😍😍 #espadril @espadrilspain I just couldn't leave without them. Don't tell @will.beam (at Espadril)

When you are working 17 hour days and are offered the choice of more (than 4 hours of) sleep or taking your conference calls from here... #capetown

Early ❤️day date night in between work emails, before I leave town... again... #workschmerk #makeitstop (at Mastro's Restaurants - Steakhouse, Chicago)

When you need a 10 min break for fresh air -- after a 12 hour meeting -- before you go back to work for the night -- only to do it all over again the next day -- oh and you're in London and right down the street from Ben and The Eye. (at London Eye)

Negative: Flight across the pond was delayed 12 hours last night. Positive: Quick pit stop at home to sleep and found these beauties had arrived 😍🎀😍 (at Chicago O'Hare International Airport)

➕/➖... Didn't take nearly enough pics throughout our Christmas travels this year. On the flip side, I guess that means I spent more time in the moment. I call it a win 😍Another successful super fun and totally exhausting Christmas tour!! 🎄🎁🍾 (at Omaha, Nebraska)

2016. Chocked full of travel. And buying a new house. And a Cubs World Series. Pretty solid year!
