Chi-Town

I've been getting ready to go home to California, but before that happens I really wanted to go to Chicago(A top place on my list to visit). This past weekend I got to see that dream com true. I took a long weekend and got to see all the city had to offer. I went shopping at a traditional German market called ChristmaskindlMarket, I strolled the famous Michigan Ave, rode the trains all over town, stepped off the ledge at the Willis Tower(formerly Sears Tower), saw the Zoo lights at the Lincoln park zoo, oh and I got to see Usher's OMG tour. An emotional roller coaster, but an amazing weekend nonetheless. I would go back in an instant.
Here are 10 things I learned from this weekend:
1. You know you are getting old when you are sitting at an Usher concert and all you can think about is how loud the music is.
2. Full body scans at the airport really aren't that bad.
3. Maps were invented for a purpose and are not meant to be disregarded.
4. People in Chicago are super friendly, I didn't meet one grumpy person.
5. I really am terrified of heights.
6. Usher is shorter than I imagined.
7. Hats do keep you warmer.
8. Snow is miserable when you have to walk long distances in it.
9. I have a secret wish to live like Tarzan and Jane.
10. The word SALE gets me every time.
