Summary of my weekend with my little sister in Chicago:
Musuem of Contemporary Art - Some of it really cool, some if it I didn't get... but that's contemporary art.
A little Madison Ave Shopping.
Gino's East Pizzaria - One of the traditional deep dish Chicago pizzas... Yum pizza. Fun environment. I love pizza.
Navy Pier - Not too intersting in the winter - probably lots of fun in the summer.
Marshall Fields - One full block, 7 stories. Biggest store in the world.
Hancock Observatory - 94th floor of a big building. Cool view of the city. Can't take good pictures though because it glares off the window with the flash and without a tripid with me it's too hard to hold the camera still enough with the flash off. Oh, and there were fireworks going on - how many people can say they've watched fireworks from ABOVE? Well, besides everyone else up there at the same time...
SUPERDAWG - Drive-in Chicago-style hotdogs. Fun atmosphere. Too much stuff on the hotdog, but hey, I ate it. :) Even my vegitarian sister attempted to eat it, although she did spit out the bite of hotdog that got in her mouth. :) I guess I love her anyway - she WAS tough enough to try it.
Art Institute of Chicago - Hugeness. Lots to see. Can't see it all in one day, we MAYBE saw half. I wanted to see American Gothic - it's on loan to the Smithsonian until this summer. I got to see other cool stuff though. Guess who I saw there? You'd never guess - Jessica Ruscello - One of my sophomore year roomates that I haven't seen in at least 2 years because she moved to Florida. And in the modern art wing - there she was. She saw me first and when I saw her I couldn't comprehend right away what was going on - I just stared at her like an idiot as my brain slowly comprehended who, what, where, why... Yeah. I'm slightly slow.
IT SNOWED! AND my sister still got to go home and not be late for work which she was worried about. AND I GOT SOME SNOW! I havne't seen snow since I was home for Christmas. Today it's almost gone and by the end of the week it's going to be 55, but at least I got to see snow one more time. :)
