My Trip

I went on a trip with my mom to Chicago,Illinois and Kenosha,Wisconsin. There was so much to do. And so little time. On Friday, when we landed we took the train to downtown Chicago. When we finally got there we went out of the train station, which was up a long climb of stairs. Then we went to a hotel to store our luggage for the day. From the hotel we went to Millenium Park. The park was so cool. In the park there was the Crown Fountains, the BP Bridge, the Jay Pritzker Pavillion, and the Cloud Gate or the "Bean". That wasn't it we had a long day ahead of us. After Millenium Park we walked up Michigan where we passed up plenty of stores. A few minutes later we arrived at the Chicago Tribune building and bought some shirts. On the same street was, fortunately, the Hershey Chocolate shop. We stopped by and when we walked in we could smell the sweet aroma of chocolate. In the Hershey store was a super sized bottle of Hershey Chocolate Syrup. There wasn't really anything in it!! :( Also when we walked in they gave us a free sample of delicious chocolate. Next door was the, again fortunately, Ghiardelli Chocolate store. We also got free samples there too, it was peanut butter filled chocolate. But soooooooo much better than a Reeses. After the two chocolates we were off to the Water Tower Place. There we looked around the mall and got hungry. So we decided to find a restaurant. And we picked California Pizza Kitchen which was right inside. We got the White pizza. It was some delicously made lunch. Soon after lunch we decided to go to the John Hancock building. In the building we went up to the top where there was the observatory. In the observatory you get to learn all about Chicago but mostly just downtown Chicago. When we were done in the observatory we met up with our old friend Tim. A little after we met up we caught up with Tim's life and got coffee from Borders. Then we were off to the Contemporary Museum of Art, but sadlly it was closed. Although outside of the museum we got to see stairs that said "MUSEUMS ARE NOW". THat was pretty cool. After the closed museum we took the el train to Sheffeild and Clark. When the three of us, my mom, Tim, and me, got there we met up with our other old friend Dan. The four of us then walked over to dinner and ate some yummdiddlyscrumpcious food. After dinner we waited at the restaurant for another old friend Barb. When we payed for our food and left we thought about going to the Cubby Bear. So I let the grown-ups decide and they decided it was going to happen. Then, when we got there we took a boat load of pictures. Right across of the Cubby bear was the Wriggley Feild so we took pictures of that too. It began to get dark so we took the metra train to our next destination, Kenosha, Wisconsin.
