Chicago

This week I had a short trip to Chicago.  This was the first time I had ever been there and boy did they welcome me in a good way with SNOW!!  Being from Houston we don't see snow that much let a lone snow that sticks for 3 days.  So let's just say the plane ride was not my favorite part of this trip.  I got there on time but because of the snow we were stuck on the tarmac for an hour and a half.  Not fun and I was hungry but then also!  But I finally made it to the hotel and was able to get something to eat and then also play a little bit in the snow..

Had to make a snowball!

My hotel was across from the NBC tower.  They were suppose to film there the next day for their field trip segment but the snow in the Northeast kept them from coming.

The next day to my surprise there was still snow on the ground! I also realized how close I was to Lake Michigan.  I didn't get any closer than this to it but it was neat to see. 

Friday night we ate at a great restaurant called Gino's East,  Make sure if you go you take your white pen or correction ink so you can write on the wall!  I would suggest the deep dish pizza also.. we had the meaty one and it was SO GOOD! 

Unfortunately, I didn't get to see a lot of the city but I hope to get to go back next year when we have our institute there so I can see more.

Here are some pictures from the game.  It started out great and at halftime we were tied but again this year we would not come home with the trophy...maybe next year!
