This Sunday (jan 18) I turned 19! It was a wonderful day- Jack took me to Chicago. We hopped on the train at 7:30 AM for about a 2 1/2 hour train ride, and spent the day wandering Chicago. We went to the Institute of Art, which was AMAZING. There was a HUGE impressionist exhibit which was awesome! It is so cool to see original Monet pieces in person. Then we walked around and shopped on Michigan Avenue. Finally, we went to a pizza place to get some real deep dish Chicago pizza! It was SO GOOD! Jack's roommate is from the inner city, so he recommended this place to us. It was absolutely freezing the whole day we were there, and by the time we were at the pizza place, it was almost time to take the train home, and we were out of time. So instead of walking back we had to take a taxi halfway.
It was such a wonderful day, and so sweet of Jack to take me. It means so much more to me to go to a cool place or have a new experience than get a material gift. Jack and I were frustrated because there was SO much to see at the museum, but both of our favorite exhibits were closed/under construction (modern art and photography), so we decided we would go again next year. Hopefully next time we can go for the weekend and stay in a hostel, and then see more of the city.
Here are some pictures! They are from around Chicago, but most of them are the art museum and one is us with our deep dish pizza! enjoy
