CHICAGO!!.

This trip to Chicago was fun and very entertaining. It started off by having our planes delayed 1-2 hours, so we ended up having to take a bus to the red line and almost got mugged in the Subway Station at 3am. A guy got on and was asking for food/money. I had an apple juice so I told him that was all the food I had with me and he started calling me a "lying b**ch" and telling me to "give him my effin money" He said A LOT more, but that is the clean nice version of it. VERY SCARY!!!! I had my mace in a death grip, luckily we got off the next stop!
Then we got to our hotel in which they had given away our 2-bed bedroom and so they ended up having to put us in a parlor with 4 roll-a-ways, then switched us the next morning.
From then on we had a pretty great trip. We went to the convention (lots of GREAT freebies), Lots of great restaurants and of course hit up all of Chicago's major tourist spots!.
We went to Navy Pier, White Sox Game, Chicago Archatecture Tour Boat, Pizza Tour, Sears Tower, McCormicks & Schmits, Chicago Chophouse, Gibsons, Harpo Studios and much much more.

Some cool things that were going on in Chicago while we were there.... They were filming Transformers 3 just down the road from our hotel. (Get this, they paid the city of Chicago 250 million to film there, HOLY COW!!) and Josh Duhamel was at the White Sox Game. Vince Vaughn sky dove out of the plance at the air and water show and we got to go to two main places they filmed The Dark Night. (the place they robbed the bank and the street they had the motorcycle accident on) I also found out that Oprah's Harpo Studio is haunted!. Talk about feeling like I was in Hollywood!

Here are some pictures.... ENJOY!!!
Oh, and by the way if you are curious about Chicago's weather, it was SOOOOO hot and the humidity made it killer!!. They said it was the hottest summer they have had in a long time.
