Chicago Part 1

The trip was very planes, trains, and automobiles (although very little of it was automobile). We departed late from Laguardia (of course) and got to play some Ms. Pac-man. This was really exciting 'cause I can actually control games that solely use a joystick. We got in to Chicago and took the train to the city. That is the world's slowest subway I have to say. We had to transfer to a bus at one point due to track work. So we got to bed really late. The hotel was really nice, so that was good. We got up late Sat, and wandered around all day before the wedding. We hit the Museum of Contemporary Art first. That was a great little museum. One of the installations you could actually climb inside, and there was a see-saw for 10. Unfortunately that installation was not open for demonstration at the time we were there. That was a great little suprise. We had some excellent weird photo-ops all weekend. We wandered around some more and took a jog along the river to the lake. That was an urban jog going up and down staircases and negotiating crowds. The wedding was Sat. night at the Adler planetarium. The venue was fantastic. Right on the water with a spectacular city view, and we got to play with all of the displays in the museum. The wedding was really fun. The reception area was on the water with a glass wall and ceiling for lake and city views. She even got free fireworks! I did not know many people at the wedding, but it was still a good time. Kristen (the bride) is one of my camp friends that used to work at the U. They donated to camp in honor of the wedding which was a nice suprise!
