The City of Chicago


One of my goals in life is to live in Chicago, IL. When I visited Chicago in 2014, I knew this was the place for me. 

-------------------------------------------------

Chicago is known for the windy city, and boy were those people right. I got to visit the Willis Tower (or Sears Tower) and I had heard rumors saying that you can feel the building sway left to right. you can even stand on the glass over the city! It was an amazing experience!


What was popular when you hear Chicago is the Bean at Millennium Park. 
FUN FACT: The bean is actually not a bean, it is a Cloud Gate. nicknamed It was nicknamed The Bean because of its shape. Anish Kapoor was the artist behind this sculpture. His design was inspired by liquid mercury and the sculpture's surface reflects and distorts the city's skyline. 


If you are a fan of baseball, then you must go to a Chicago Cubs game. The Cubs are my favorite baseball team and the vibe you get from going to this game is amazing. Everyone is friendly, sing along to game theme songs, and the food is great (but also expensive!) 


Chicago is a great city to visit when going out of state (or in the state.) I recommend planning out a trip with your family or guy/girlfriends if you are feeling adventurous!
