Part 4: Chicago

We made a last minute stop to Chicago on our way home. We have been wanting to go to Chicago, but we didn't think we had enough time. As we were driving home we thought, "why not?" and stopped there for a few hours.
We walked down Michigan Ave and saw the Sears Tower and all the famous stores in movies. We even got to stop at H&M and do a little shopping :)

Then we decided to walk down to Navy Pier. Shopping took a little longer than we had planned :) so by the time we got there everything was shutting down. We did get to see the big ferris wheel right before they shut it down and turned off the lights though. We also got to see lots of boats and the amazing view of the city. It was a fun atmosphere.



We got a small taste of Chicago. It was a fun detour, even though it made us drive through the night to get home. It was worth it!

We had an amazing 10 day vacation! It was so fun to be with Ben the whole time and not have to worry about school and boards. It was great, but it's good to be home.
