Chicago

Every once in a while my dad will go off to a business conference somewhere in the US, and we will just kind of chill at home while he is gone. This time thought...we actually got to go. This weeks converence was about ultra sounds and it was held in Chicago. While he was at that, my mom, my sister, and I forged the city on foot. First we went out to lunch at this really cool restaurant called Rockits. They had the best burgers ever!! After that, we walked along the streets downtown and we checked out various shops and parks. We ended up at Millenium park which the flood every year to make a huge ice rink. But that wasn't the best part in my opinion. The best part of millenium park was a huge mirrored ball in the center of this empty space.

That was a lot of fun. After that, we headed over to this German holiday market square. It wasn't exactly as fun as we were expecting, but it was still cute. When we were done there, we met back up with my dad and we went out to eat at this one thai restaurant. It was really good as well. After we were done eating, we went over to the Lincoln Zoo. They do this special thing every year where they deck the whole zoo out in christmas lights, and they open it up at night. Last, when we were finished at the zoo. We took a cab on over to Navy Pier. That was really cool as well.
