Chicago, Here We Come

          We left for Chicago at 12:00 pm to go and pick up my grandparents at O'Hare international airport. We had to travel about five hours. As we left we picked up some lunch at Kroger. In the car we ate and played and looked at the scenic views. Often in the ride I went to sleep or just ate snacks. An interesting thing that I saw was a wind farm where there were hundreds of energy generating windmills. We could see rows and rows of windmills expanding over the fields. We soon entered the bustling city of Chicago where the traffic got really bad really fast. Chicago is a large city with movement of ideas, goods and cars. The absolute location of the center of Chicago is 41° 52′ 55″ N87° 37′ 40″ W. It took us about an hour just to get around ten miles. Finally we got to our hotel and we checked in. We went on our T.V. and watched the Kentucky Derby. At 5:30 we left to go to the airport to pick up my grandparents.

          When we went to pick them up something was odd because my grandparents didn't come out. After standing in the arrival section for about three hours my grandparents came. They told us that someone had taken their luggage. Now we had to find the luggage that was lost in the terminal. We left very disappointed but at around 12:00 they found the luggage and we had to go pick it up. We went to bed at the hotel which was comfortable. We woke up in the morning and we hung around in our room. As we were leaving our hotel we saw an orange Lamborghini in the parking lot. Then we left to eat lunch at a restaurant. After eating, we took a small drive around the edge of Lake Michigan. We saw the lake because Chicago is located in the northeastern part of Illinois and southwest of Lake Michigan. The lake was very pretty and there were many people riding their bikes or just running. After taking a small tour we started our trip home. We came back home at about 8:30 on a Sunday so it wasn't the best timing.
