When we first got there, we had to take a cab which felt like forever. When we got to the hotel, I was amazed by the mall that was in the hotel. When we got into our room, I felt like I was going to faint. I put my doll down and realized "I am so gonna get another American Girl doll." My mom and dad just didn't know it.
So, 20 minutes later, we went out into the streets of Chicago. My mom and dad decided we should go to Gino's East for pizza and then we had to wait 30 minutes outside and then we finally got in. And when I saw the picture of Michael Jackson, I thought it was so disgusting. Then I saw the picture of the Black Eyed Peas. I really, really wanted to scream. I asked my mom and dad to ask the waiter if we could sit where the Black Eyed Peas sat. They said "no, we can't ask that." But my dad was the lucky one! He got to sit - drum roll, please - where MICHAEL JORDAN sat! When we sat down, the waiter came and said that it was a 45 minute wait for the deep dish pizza. I was like "ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh." But not out loud, in public. Ten minutes later, my dad said he felt like his chair was with sweat. And then I said the same thing. I really, really couldn't wait for anything. I asked if the pizza was going to be really good. They said "of course, it is the best pizza ever." When the pizza got there, I was so excited but unh, unh. I tried the pizza and then I said "umm, delish!" After two more bites, I felt like I was going to throw up because it was so disgusting because it was so, so thick.
But what can the American Girl store do to heal that? A new American Girl, of course! So we went up on the elevator to the top floor to get Bailey's hair done but then, Daddy said: "Just go ahead and let her get another American Girl doll." And I heard, but I wasn't supposed to hear that. But I heard anyway. I was like "please, please, please, please." And Daddy was like "go downstairs before they run out of them." I was like "come on, come on, let's go before that happens! I really want Elizabeth so badly." And then, we got her! I was so excited!!!
We also got to explore the store later. I was so excited to actually get Elizabeth and I couldn't stop saying thank you. After that store, I really didn't want to leave. But we had to so we could go to Mommy's shoe store before it closes. We found 3 elevators and I was like please let us go on all of them and they said we had to and I was like "yay." And then we went back to our hotel to go to sleep.
One morning later, we went to the zoo and I realized my feet had three blisters on them. I was like "Mom, do you know what this is from?" She said no and I said I think it is from my shoes because they did hurt me yesterday. I asked her if I could wear my different shoes. She said no, you will be okay for today. So, we are at the zoo and saw the sea lions. They were so cute!!! We went down underground to find some air conditioning and see them better. I was like "okay, I am freezing." So, we went outside and I found a carousel. I asked if we could go on that and then we went to go see the lions because my mom and dad didn't want to go on it.
But then, Uncle Adam and Aunt Sam came! I really, really, really, wanted to run up on Aunt Sam but I couldn't. I love her so much and Uncle Adam. But I knew that I could run up to him. So, I went to them and asked them if one of them could go on the carousel with me but before that I gave them hugs and kisses. We went on the carousel and it was so hot but my favorite part was the polars.
I was like "can we please go, can we please go?" and then we finally went. It was so cute! It went right up by me when it was swimming in the water. It was so up close!!!
I was so excited when we got to go to Sears Tower. We saw lots and lots of things that will take you 103 stories up. Then the elevator took you all the way up to the top so you could see the entire city. I was sort of scared, but barely.
We went to dinner at Bandera and I didn't like the mac and cheese so the waitress brought me grilled cheese. She was so nice! And then we went back to the hotel and wait til you hear the funnest part! We got to see a scene from - another drum roll, please - TRANSFORMERS 3. I almost got to be on the news in the audience. Well, frankly, I don't know if I was...
The next day, we went to another hotel. I knew it was pretty but nope, nope, nope. I had to be stuck in the weirdest hotel ever. But the cool part was it was built in 1913, the year after the Titanic sank. Any way, at least this one had a pool that we swam in that night. We went to the Cubs game with Uncle Adam, Aunt Sam, and Aunt JenJen. I was so sweaty by the time the game was over. I had a huge meal for snack at night because I slept through dinner - another grilled cheese and some apples. It was a huge grilled cheese!
A day later, we went to another hotel down by the airport. I really liked that hotel. Baby shower time! We went to the baby shower at the place that Uncle Adam and Aunt Sam had their wedding reception. The first game we played was "Guess how many kisses were in the jar." I think there were 125 in there. My guess was 92 and Mommy's guess was 72. Not even close. JenJen let me give the prizes out. The next game that we played was "How many inches is Aunt Sam's belly." I guessed 32 but it was 36. I guessed that but I kept erasing the choices because I didn't think that was right. Mommy and one of Aunt Sam's cousin won! Then it was present time! I helped JenJen hand out the presents to Aunt Sam.
Then we went home to Aunt Sam's parents' house. I got to see Bear, the cutest lookin' dog ever. There was another dog, named Shag and 2 cats. I forgot their names, though. We had so much fun there - we played Bear bag toss and ladder ball. When we left I was so sad that I cried in the car but my mom and dad didn't know.
We turned in the grandpa car and got ready to come home. The best part of coming home was getting my kitten!!! But I was still really sad.
