We got to Chicago, safe and sound! We had off the first couple days after we arrived which gave us a chance to check out the town. Of course, first on our agenda was Chicago deep dish pizza! Good thing our apartment is very close to Giordano's Pizzeria. I like just cheese on my pizza, but some of us got spinach and pineapple. After dinner, we stopped by Garrett's popcorn and I introduced everyone to the best popcorn ever! I like the caramel flavor and my mom likes the Chicago Mix with caramel and cheese.
Miss Kim, our teacher, took us on a field trip to Navy Pier and on an architectural tour boat ride. It was such a fun day! The boat went up and down the Chicago River while our tour guide pointed out some really cool buildings and told us interesting facts about them. I saw a few of the buildings that were in Transformers 3. My favorite fact that I learned, was that the Wrigley building was where flavored gum was invented. Mr. Wrigley used to put the gum in his packages of baking soda to increase his sales. People started buying the baking soda JUST for the gum and then Mr. Wrigley started his famous gum company.
After learning about the buildings, our boat sped up and took us on a tour of Lake Michigan. We went really fast and it was super windy. They played fun music and our tour guide was dancing around. After our boat ride, we wandered around Navy Pier and ate at Bubba Gumps. Miss Kim let us get smoothies in special light up glasses that we got to keep. After lunch, we went on a few rides and played mini-golf. I got a hole in one! We also went in a fun house maze. After our long day, we relaxed back at the apartment and spent some time on the rooftop lounge area. It has a hot tub and a pool table, plus an amazing view of the city.
On Saturday, we had an opening night party at the Italian Village after the show. It was really fancy and they served great food. All of the desserts had tree nuts in them, which Annie and I are allergic to and guess what? They made us both a special dessert- crème Brule! I ate almost all of mine, it was delicious.
I can't wait to spend 3 more weeks here, I love Chicago!
