Look at those wonderful, smiling faces that say, "holy crap, I need more sleep." Alright, besides the horrid sleeping conditions  of a charter bus, I think it's safe to say that everyone who went on the Chicago trip had a good time.
 To start, the conference was a great experience, and I'm very glad that I attended. Aside from being a lot of fun (and rather fancy) I got a lot of useful information out of it. The conference took the topics I had already learned in school, and expanded on them to the point that I felt like I could teach it myself. It was just a great learning experience.
 Speaking of learning experiences, I was super excited to go as far north as Chicago because I don't get the opportunity to travel much. I had never been that far north, and it was really interesting for me to be that close to Lake Michigan. After spending a few days in Chicago  I've come to really like the city, and i do plan to go back sometime soon. I also liked the places we got to go to, and as you can see, we all had fun at The Bean.

 So, all in all, I had a wonderful time in Chicago, and I'm so glad that I decided to go on the trip, despite the absolute lack of sleep.
