So I drove to Chicago this weekend for the very first time by myself. Well 
my sister was with me but I actually drove. We went to Chicago for many reasons. We had an ATE Conference on Monday so we decided to spend the weekend with family. We were able to go shopping and see the city and get our work done in the process. Our conference was for preservice candidates (upcoming teachers). The speakers at the conference spoke about their personal experiences and what strategies we could use in our classroom to make it the best possible. I learned so much during the conference I am glad I was able to go.

While we were downtown, we went to lunch a the Eleven City Diner. This restaurant was one of the coolest places I have gone. The inside was so unique and nothing like we have here in Indiana and the food was amazing. I was soo happy to go to a downtown Chicago restaurant rather than a place like McDonalds. I had a very good weekend. I want to go back when it is warmer so we can walk downtown more!! :)
I can understand your excitement about Chicago. I've been there many times. However, the excitement comes back pretty quickly every time I get there. If you're ever interested in a list of cool places to go, I could go on and on...
ReplyDeleteI will be going to Chicago at the end of April. I am excited and me and two friends are taking the train. Good to know that it sounds like a good place to be going. :)
