Greg, Maddie, Aunt Dara, and I got to go to Chicago a couple weeks ago. Our main reason for going: to see the
Broadway hit,
Wicked which aunt Dara had already seen with her theater class and LOVED. It was SO good, and sadly it is ending in Chicago in April. We would definitely go again if we could!
We got there that afternoon, went to the Sears Tower...very expensive, not really worth it to
me but Maddie was hyped about it. We also visited the American Girl store, Hershey's, and ate at Cheesecake Factory. Yum.
We walked pretty much everywhere we went (except for one very frightening cab ride) and talked about how the Chicago natives
look like they are...well, from Chicago. By the way...the
McDonald's don't put out ketchup, napkins, or salt and pepper (you have to
ask for them)....AND refills cost 75 cents! Anyway...Dara got accepted at Moody, so she will soon be living in the midst of it all starting next fall. Yes....we are a little scared. : )

Sears Tower Trivia: not really home to anything Sears

Yes, I made her pose that way
