So, I have been to two major cities for the first time this year. The first being New York City, which was awesome but I was only there for a day (9/11/09) and it was raining the whole time. The second being Chicago, and it was awesome! I went to visit my sister for her birthday and get out of the DC area for a week. I had a fun filled week of hanging out with my sisters and their friends, skating, eating at awesome vegan restaurants and doing your basic toristy type things. I went to the sears tower and stood in a glass booth 103 floors above the city. I went to Millenium park at night and saw all kinds of interesting lights and scupltures. All and all I would recommend going to Chicago some time for those who have not, it's a fun place to venture about.
