Hey guys,

My trip to Chicago was fun! Technically it isn't over yet, but I'm ready to be home.

I will have pictures up as soon as I can. They aren't the best quality, having come from a camera phone. Ms. Leah took some great pictures during the trip, some that I haven't even seen yet, and whenver she gets them uploaded or whatever, I will send you the link and you can see better pictures that way.

Some of the things that has been going on: I got to see the gateway arch in St. Louis. We are actually supposed to be going up it today before we leave back for home. I got to see Abraham Lincoln's home yesterday, which was exciting.

Chicago was actually a nice city! (Well, the nicer parts, lol) - and we went up the Hancock building, and I've gotten some beautiful pictures from there.

I got to glimpse the Sears tower, which is the tallest tower in Chicago. We visited the planetarium, aquarium, the Hard Rock cafe in Chicago for a few minutes, I saw the Buckingham Fountain which is *huge*.

I also finished reading Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows while there, too, and absolutely loved it! It was sad, though, some parts...

Overall, we had a great time, though Amber didn't get to go :( :(

We should be back home very late tonight or early in the morning Friday. I have had a fun, exciting week, but I can't pretend that I am not ready to return home and rest some; the trip was a long one.
