                        Indiana:
Windmills!
Do you remember these windmills?

                                                         
My favorite windmills in the world!

                  I learned they come accompanied with Red Lights. I was driving along and it was as dark as can be when all the sudden thousands of red lights filled the horizon!
Every single windmill has a red light on top of it that blinks at the same time. I wish I could have gotten a picture.
                         
                        
          Illinois:
                                    I got lost trying to find the hotel. I was being so brave driving to a huge new city but I was getting nervous toward the end when my phone was beeping low battery and I wasn’t sure was. Alas, I made it. And Sean had TGIF’s waiting in the hotel room for dinner. Such a good man!
           

  • Chicago:

Willis Tower (Formally know as Sear's Tower) 
(also known as the tallest tower in the Untied States)



There was a Plexi glass box extended from the building so you could look down!


Some fun facts for you




                    Greek Town:


I don't like drinking water that has ice in it without a straw.
However, in Greek Town they don't believe in regular straws so they gave me 2 alcohol straws to make up for it. 



So Good!

                    Magnificent Mile:


Lots and lots of shopping!






                    Navy Pier:



Navy Pier first opened in 1916, it was designed as a shipping and recreational facility. It also served as a military training site during two world wars. Now it is full of restaurants, shops and little museums.
