Chicago

I just got back today from Chicago to visit Brandon. It was wonderful!!! I couldn't have asked for a better weekend. I have tons of pictures to add to the website but I've gotta get to bed so I'll add them tomorrow.

My view of Chicago has changed greatly. I was in the Chicago area about 4 years ago for Brandon's boot camp graduation. We both didn't like the weather, the area, the mall was dumpy, the service was poor everywhere, people were really rude on the roads and and pretty much everywhere we went.

This time was completely different. We went to Chicago's downtown which was SO cool. It's huge. I have never seen such tall buildings and so many. We saw the Sears tower, the Buckingham Fountain which is on the beginning of Married with Children, the Navy Pier, we rode on the subway and the L-Train which is above the road train. We ate Chicago Dogs which we ended up not really liking, the best pizza every Chicago style pizza from Uno's and we ate at White Castle which is a really weird little fast food restaraunt that all of their burgers and chicken sandwiches are mini and square. When you get a combo meal you get 4 burgers. It's an alright place. I don't know why people make such a big deal about it. Maybe the one we went to was not the best. We also watched some movies and just relaxed.
It was a great weekend other than my plane home was delayed an hour because the toilet broke on the first one so they had to get us another plane. Other than that it was an incredible weekend!!!

P.S. I should have the pictures up by tomorrow evening.
