Chicago

The Windy City, I'm guessing everyone knows what city I'm talking about. If you don't, I'm talking about Chicago. In my blogs I will be telling you about some of the places that I've gone and some places that I wish to travel to.
The first place that I'm going to write about is my favorite city Chicago. The first time that I went there was my freshman year on our every four year band trip. That trip was the best trip that I have been on. I loved that trip so much that I took my family there two years later.
The best part about Chicago is the museums. My favorite one was the Museum of Science and Industry. you might think that it sounds boring but it's not. They have so much stuff in there, if you go visit this one make sure you take a whole day to visit it. They have so many different things in this museum from old tracktors to electric cars. They even have an olden town with a movie theatre. Chicks hatching to out of this universe technology, this place has it all.
The other museum that I went to was the Field museum. There you can see dinosaurs and ancient Americans. the famous Sue (a T rex), she is the worlds laregest and most complete rex in the world. they also have diamonds and other types of rare rocks out on display, thought there was only a few different kinds of rocks, think agian. If you love all of those things then the Field museum is for you.
Love animals? You'll love the Shed Aquarium. From the smallest of sea animals to the whales you get it all. Every day they have a dolphin show. These dolphins are amazing, they do all sorts of tricks. They have great interaction programs at this aquarium.
Navy Pier is one place that you must stop on this trip. This long stretch of fun artifacts and shops will make your day a little more fun. When you go, go on the boat tours, you can choose to go on a the slow one or on the fastest tour boat ever. I would recomend the fast one, it feels like you're flying you're going so fast.
If you haven't seen The Blue Man Group I would recomend it. Not only is it entertaining but it's super cool. The drumming is amazing and the paint is awesome. They take people from the audience and use them in the show and there is a suprise at the end.
The city is awesome and the atmosphere is magical. This is one of the best places in the U.S. (my opinion). If you like big cities and want to have a great time doing pretty much anything this is defenatly the place for you. If you can't find something to do there then you just don't know how to have fun and should probably get out more often.
