Chicago

Last weekend I had a chance to catch up with one of my Aunts. We had been trying to get together and our scheduled did not match. Finally...They did. I caught a train in Fox Lake IL. on Saturday morning. Thinking I would just relax till I got to her station I sat back and started my I Pod. Then the strangest thing happened. I saw a friend that I have lost touch with for the past year. She had been living in Chicago but has been staying with family and commuting for work. I watched her get on the train and then joined her. It was so nice to talk and the ride flew by. My Aunt joined us about half way downtown. We got to talk about so many things and what we have been up to.
Once in Chicago we went for breakfast then walked around. Saw the sights including Millennium Park and Navy Pier. My Aunt was the perfect person to go to a sculpture exhibit. It was amazing to see how talented and weird artists are. Some of the art was so detailed I just wanted to stare at it. Others made me just wonder what they were thinking when it was created. All the art was for sale but I forgot to bring money and the cheapest thing was around $3000. Most of it was WAY more! I still can't figure out what my favorite thing was. To hard, just way to hard!
After a wonderful day we caught the train back that was a few minutes late. Finally off our feet and relaxed and continued talking. I had a awesome time!!!
Till... Around libertyville...Train stopped for 35 minutes! I was trying to get back on time so I could meet up with friends for a movie. I made it! Not sure how though. I got off the train 40 minutes late at 6:45pm; drove 15 minutes north to my home to let my dog out. Got back in the car and drove a hour to Deer Park for the movie at 8:00pm.
All together a great day!!!
