Chicago was pretty awesome! We were staying with Katie's best friend Vinnie in his apartment and we got in pretty late on Tuesday night so we just watched Avatar and went to bed. Then we woke up and went sight seeing on Wednesday with Vinnie as our tour guide!
The Giant Bean with the reflection on the city!
In front of the giant fountain!
After our day of sight seeing we went back to Vinnie's apartment and watched the finale of American Idol while we ate deep dish Chicago style pizza. We had to leave early the next morning so we went to bed pretty early. I wish we had more time in Chicago! I had lots of fun. The drive from Chicago to Katie's house was about 7 hours long, and it honestly felt way longer than both of the 22 hour drives we did earlier in our trip because I am completely ready to be at Katie's house with Aunt Bev and Uncle Don! I was so excited to do laundry! :)
So between the Grand Canyon and Pennsylvania we missed sooo many state signs! But it wasn't our fault! We actually COMPLETELY missed Colorado (Carly was driving!) so we turned around and drove 15 miles back to get the state sign, and I'm so glad we did! Because then Nebraska's state sign was in a construction zone so missed that one. Then Iowa, Illinois Indianna, and Ohio all had their state signs hanging on the over passes so we would have been standing in the middle of the highway to get those pictures! Which I think is ridiculous! We were doing so good! Their signs should be on the side of the rode OR at the next available exit they should have a welcome center!! But we did get the PA state sign! :) And then we plan on getting all of the state signs between here and Florida on our way back home!
