I'm back! Chicago was awesome! We loved the hotel! I got to see the Sear's Tower, Lake Michigan (I had no idea that the Great Lakes looked like oceans! I felt like I was back in California when I saw it! It was almost like being home!), and I even saw Oprah's studio! And not only that we didn't know it at the time when we saw her whole staff boarding buses with luggage, but she was taking them on a Mediterranean cruise! The only thing I wasn't use to was the weather. I've never seen storm clouds black and thick roll in. And the lightening and thunder was scary! And when it rained it poured! Then we had a tiny bit of hail and it stopped. I was thinking it was going to be cold outside (that's how it is in Cali when it rains unless you live in the desert areas or something like the valley) but it was hot! And it was the muggy kind of hot! I had never been chased by mosquitoes before. So that was new to me. I didn't get bit by any but my Grandma did. All in all it was a great trip! We had to be on stand by at the airport because our cousin got us there too late. He said we were only fifteen minutes away. But he didn't get us there until 5:20 A.M. Chicago time and the plane started boarding at 5:30 A.M. because it was taking off at 6:00 A.M. Chicago time. Let's just say we were a little bitter. But other then that the trip was great. xD
