Chicago

Day two of our trip and it's going good. Started off NOT so good. Suburban wouldn't start when we went to leave home. DEAD battery--had to go buy a new one. Hit the road about 6:30 am on Friday.
This was the line of traffic going into St. Louis...road construction was RIDICULOUS from there onto Chicago. We lost a lot of time!

Our hotel that we are staying at while in Chicago. Sheraton 4 Seasons-out by Chicago O'Hare Airport. Planes haven't been too bad.

John Hancock Observatory. We went up to the top on Friday night. Views were gorgeous!

We had "Chicago Style Pizza" for lunch...I didn't really care for it. But at least I can say I've had it now.

So the reason we are here is for National Quiz Bowl competition.

So far, we have played 5 games and won 1. They have been close games and the kids have done well over all. Great experience for all of them. Jacob has been the team captain.

Went down to the Navy Pier last night. Ate, walked around and watched fireworks.

We ate at Bubba Gumps...oh my goodness was it ever good!
