Chicago Fun

I just got back from Chicago and it was awesome. We did too much for me to write it all in here so here are the highlights. Overall it was a great trip!

-Our train ride was fun we played Mad Gab and checked out the sites.
-We arrived at Union Station, which call me a dork, was way cool. It looks just like the movies and was really nice.
-We checked into our hotel we stayed in the Marriot on Michigan Avenue. Our room was on the 30th floor. The view was nice and so was everything in the hotel, so fancy.
-We rode the bus all over downtown we are now experienced with public transit.
-We spent a few hours in Shed's Aquarium. It was awesome we had soo much fun.
-Walked through Memorial Park at night to see it all lit up and took our pictures with all the statue/monuments...our favorite was the "bean".
-Watched the ice skaters and listened to the Rat Pack music playing.
-Ate at ESPN Zone. The atmosphere was cool and my sandwich was soo delicious.
-Walked downtown at night to see all the Christmas lights and look at the store fronts, it was soo pretty. My favorite was a nutcracker front at Macy's.
-Visited the Sears tower and looked at Chicago 103 stories off the ground almost 1500 feet. It hurt my ears but was really cool.
-Ate lunch at Ed Debivic's, a 50's restuarant where they are mean to you, it was neat.
-Shopped downtown, more like ran in and out of stores just looking at stuff, but still it was fun.
-Sat at the train station for 2 hours on delay reading magazines and playing games.
-Played with 2 little girls on the train home for entertainment and even rode to Lincoln with one of my softball teammates who happened to be heading back.
