Day 7 - Chicago Part 2

Hey all!!! Well today was sort of a wash out. Ryan and I both woke up really late cuz we have been on the go ever since we left on Monday. We decided to take the car over to the local pepboys and get a much needed oil change. We then headed over to the local Target while the car was worked on. At Target I bought some beer which is a novelty because we cant do that in PA. On top of that we got a 10% discount on it because Ryan works at Target. It was pretty sweet!!

After the car was finished we came back to Nancy's house and decided to head into town to go to the top of the Sears Tower. Before we did that however, we stopped off for lunch at a local placed called Northside Cafe. Ryan and I sat outside people watching and had a pretty good lunch. At lunch tho, it was so windy that some of the patio umbrellas came crashing down. There was such a big gust of wind that a full class of water went flying all over this poor girl. I felt bad.

So after lunch we jumped on the subway and went to the Sears Tower. Upon getting there we were informed that it was too windy and the Skydeck was closed. Ryan and I were really distraught and just decided to go back to Nancy's and relax on their patio. But not gonna lie, there is never a dull thing that happens on this trip. On the way home from the Sears Tower, Ryan and I found a laptop just sitting on the side of the road. We decided to pick it up and take it home. Upon further analysis the laptop worked and belonged to this guy Erich who lives in Chicago. We are currently trying to get a hold of the guy via email to return his computer to him.

So pretty much for the rest of the day we just chilled on Nancy's patio and enjoyed the beautiful sunny 83 degree with 30% humidity weather. At around 6pm we had some delicious hamburgers with baked beans and corn on the cob. Even thought we didn't do anything too exciting today, it was still a lot of fun to just relax and do nothing in the windy city. Check back tomorrow to find out about our segway tour and hopefully the view from the Sears Tower. Peace!!
