Tourist Time - PM 1

Well, things picked up rather quickly this afternoon and we actually made it to Chicago earlier on this evening. At first it seemed like just any other city but after taking a quick trip to the downtown I can tell you now I was wrong. One of the most amazing views I've ever witnessed was driving down the freeway towards the downtown core of Chicago tonight. It was a great view and I'm looking forward to spending more time downtown over the next few days, hopefully giving us a chance to take some pictures.

The trip to Chicago today was long but we managed to squeeze in some movies and the view from Minneapolis to Milwaukee is really actually quite nice. Almost as nice as driving into Ontario from Manitoba. The Highway was SO busy though, just incredible for what seemed like the middle of nowhere. Along the trip I also visited my very first Wal-Mart Supercentre which was of great excitement for me. All I bought were some cookies and donuts though.

Our Hotel is a Super 8 just a little ways from the Six Flags that Shawn wants to go to tomorrow. It's got free wireless Internet and free donuts every morning. Seeing as my new found addiction has proven to be donuts from Krispy Kremes I'm not sure which of those two will be more useful...

As you might have noticed by now I'm posting at a rate of two messages a day. I'm hoping to keep up this pace till I come back since with everything going on I expect to have alot to say.
