My Trip to Cleveland, Fort Wayne, and Chicago

I was away last weekend and I have to say it was refreshing and intense. Many of the trips that I take are usually go, go, go and this one was no different. In three days starting at 5:35 am on Friday I was off to Cleveland, Fort Wayne, Chicago and back home at 11:15 on Sunday with my girlfriend.

Our walk to the Chicago Field Museum happened to be the same time everyone was going to the Bears vs. Vikings game at Soldier Field right near there.

Sue the Tyrannosaurus Rex at Chicago Field Museum is the most complete set of bones in the world of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Clown Fish just like Nemo at the John Shed Aquarium.

The view from the Sears Tower was was amazing. The elevator was crazy as you fly up and down 103 floors in about a minute.

My trips are always go, go, go but I’m glad I got to jam pack my trip and do all the things I got to do. It was a great trip and I’m sure I’ll be back out to the Midwest again since my Brother is out there.
