Chicago

Thursday night brought us to Chicago, where we stayed with my Uncle Doug. We called my Aunt and Uncle at nearly the last minute and surprised them with 4 people. They were wonderful and accommodated all of us. Both my aunt and uncle have Motorola Droids, and the first hour or two we were there was primarily composed of showing each other Droid apps and features we had discovered.

Following the droid party, we all went out for pizza in down town Wheaton.

Friday morning we went downtown and had breakfast at Lou Mitchells with my Uncle.

From Lou Mitchells we headed to the Sears/Willis tower. It loomed over the city. This one building contains more people than the entire town I live in.

We went up to the top of the tower. They have recently added a new Plexiglas room that lets you walk out onto a glass floor that floats above the city.

Standing on a completely see through floor 103 stories in the air affects us all a little differently...

After spending a little time roaming the city, we were able to catch up with a friend of ours that we met playing World of Warcraft nearly 6 years ago that lives in Chicago. Stellartouch, a night elf priest, took us to the Millenium park where we admired the giant reflective bean and had lunch.

We hit a little traffic leaving Chicago, and ended up not getting back to our house in Virginia until 4:00 AM. Saturday we'll get back in the car and drive to may parents house for my littlest sister's graduation.

  1. I learned that not all WOW people are abnormal, their friend was very pretty and socialiable and normal. Also, if you were 103 floors up and standing on a piece of glass, you would act differently too...
