Katherine- Adventures in Chicago

Adventures in Chicago

Chicago was one of the best experiences of my life! I got to walk on Wrigley Field and touch the Ivy and the brick wall behind it (not a lot of fans get to touch it). I got to see my very favorite band called Pearl Jam. We also met these SUPER nice people who bought a drink for me and my dad. The first night we saw the band on the field, the second night we went on the bleachers and left early because we were tired.


 Let’s go back to the very beginning, right when the plane landed I felt a argent nerve that told me “I need to get out of this loud plane” mainly because we were sitting in the back and all we heard was vrrr barrrrr msssssss vrrr barr mssssss and on and on. I remember landing and looking for our luggage turns out or luggage was stuck on the plane for an hour. My dad had to get the car and it had some problem that I don’t remember but it took nearly 2 hours!! That same day we went out on my uncle’s yacht and it was so fun.



Day 2 and 3 of Chicago was even better. We stayed in our hotel and my dad turned the air down to 32 degrees. My dad got a migraine and my mom and I went to the Sears Tower by ourselves. It was still fun though! After that we went to see the concert. That was so much fun we were holding up our sign on my dad’s shoulders. We were going to go back on my uncle’s yacht but my dad was feeling so bad that we didn’t go. Oh ya I forgot to mention that my mom and I got stuck on the elevator on the sears tower!! We went back to our room and slept.



Later our visit in Chicago we got a devastating phone call from my uncle who was living with us at that time that my old dog was very sick and might die):. It was devastating I cried for a hour. My uncle took the day off and she ended up dying 2 weeks later. Any way I remember not wanting to go home. Oh ya I almost forgot my teacher is a HUGE cubs fan so we got her a few really cool souvenirs.


 Chicago was on of the best experiences of my whole life. On the plane ride back I was so sad but happy to see my dog back in shape. I was a little homesick. When we go to home I played with my little cousin. My older cousin was playing a game we made up called “tiger” and we still play that game to this day! I miss Chicago my dream is to go back there and visit Wrigley field one more time. I’m so thankful I got to go there and touch the Ivy! Thank you dad and mom for taking me there.
