Back Home

By the way, in case it wasn't obvious, we're back home now. The trip back was a bit more exciting than the trip there. Due to weather we were stuck in the airport all day as our flight kept getting delayed. The airport was PACKED with cranky, frustrated people, but far from getting us down, instead it allowed us to explore and share some quality time, at least as much as possible in the world's busiest airport.

Here are some more photos from the trip.

At the pub down the street after seeing Iraqtile Dysfunction at Second City. (Second City was awesome!)
Waiting for the Subway.
Riding the subway.
At Joe's Sports Bar watching the Duke game. (They have big screen televisions everywhere!)
Joe's Sports Bar was packed!
So packed, they have a vending machine for ear plugs!
Standing in front of Wrigley Field.
Standing in front of Sue, the world's largest, most complete, and best preserved Tyrannosaurus Rex skelaton, at the Field Museum. She measures 42 feet long, 13 feet tall, and weighed 7 tons when alive. She's named after Susan Hendrickson, the fossil hunter who discovered her.
Inside the Egyptian tomb, part of the Inside Ancient Egypt exhibit at the Field Museum. Those are the actual blocks (and actual hieroglyphics) from the tomb in Egypt in the background.
The lobby of the Fisher Building, where we stayed. Behind the plaque is the Consierge desk. We had floorplan B1 on the 13th floor (yes, there's a floor labelled 13). The 19th floor had a lounge/games room with a foosball table, a bar, a pool table, a fireplace, couches, and a big screen TV. Sweet!
Time to leave!


That's all for now, I'll have more photos up in the next couple of days.

Your boyfriend letting you use him as a human pillow as you catch a few zzz's is my favoirite kind of quality time.... whether it's on the couch at home, or on the floor of the busiest airport in the world.

It's funny how some of the least expensive adventures on my trip have become my most treasured memories.....
