In September my mom & I went to Chicago to visit Michael for a few days. We had so much fun exploring "the windy city". Our first day there we went to the Shedd Aquarium that is right next to Lake Michigan. That night we went to see the play "Wicked: The untold story of the witches of Oz". It was so amazing and gave you a different view of the wicked witch and how she became so wicked. I absolutely loved it!! The next day, Mike & I met up with some guys from my work and went to the Cubs game at Wrigley Field while my mom went to some art museums. We had so much fun hangin out and eating cottoncandy. After the game we met up with my mom and went for a tour of the city by taking an awesome boat ride on the Chicago River that flows right thru downtown and out to Lake Michigan. We got to see great views of the Chicago skyline and Navy Pier. It's a good thing I don't live in Chicago because they have this awesome shopping area called "The Magnificent Mile" that has all the greatest stores you could ever want on one street. I was in shopping heaven! Our third day was Museum day. We went to the Museum of Science and Industry, the Adler Planetarium and the Field Museum of Natural History where we saw some cool American Indian artifacts and "Sue" the world's largest, most complete, and best-preserved T-Rex. That evening we went to the top of the John Hancock Building for a great view of Chicago. It was similar to the Empire State Building in New York. We flew home the next day. It was a very busy trip but we got to see a lot of great things and I got to eat a Chicago hot dog :)
