Last week I had the opportunity to take a much needed vacation to Chicago. What an amazing city with an amazing history! I got to go to a Cubs game at wrigley field, hit the tourist attractions like the Sears (Willis Tower), the aquarium and planetrium, Navy Pier, and everything else Chicago has to offer. I had to favorites to this trip. The first being the baseball game. There is just something about sitting in a baseball park eating a hotdog that is just so American and creates the warm fuzzies. My second favorite thing was the architectural tour up the Chicago River. I loved hearing the history behind the buildings and what makes them all so significant. Besides getting hit on by the old homeless guy and getting lost a couple of times, it was the best time ever.
I learned so much about the city itself, along with the architecture and what makes it all so unique. I also learned alot about myself. First off, I know now that it doesn't matter where in the world I am, I have the crappiest sense of direction EVER and don't let me judge the distances on a map. I'm not very good at that either. Second off, I am a small town girl at heart. By the end of the trip I had finally figured out how the trains stops worked and stuff, but there is no way I could deal with that every day. It would drive me insane! I also couldn't handle having to deal with the pigeons. 4 days was enough of that. Give me a small, Utah town any day. Third, I could never live with the humidity. I am way to used to the dry air we have here.
What a great vacation and I am so glad Daphne asked me to go!
