Greetings Friends!
So I must start by saying that I had intended on posting this a while ago, but it never happened. My apologies that I am a little late on some of this, but it is still to have on our blog.
Over a year ago, I had been at my BVS retreat. I soon got to talking to a new friend about various things, and he told me all about the St. Patrick's day celebrations that take place in the city of Chicago. I thought that it sounded pretty cool, but I realized that I would probably never be around for another year. Well then, I decided to sign on for a second year and I happened to be at home in Elgin St. Patrick's day weekend. Kendra and I decided that a Chicago St. Patrick's day was something that we needed to experience for ourselves.
We decided that due to all the traffic that would be in the city, it would be best if we took the metra into the city, rather than trying to drive a car in. We were the first ones on the metra, so we obviously got a good seat, but it was pretty hilarious to watch all the people dressed in green getting on the train as we would stop at every station. It was also funny to listen to everyone, as we got closer to Chicago and the noise levels would continue to elevate.
It was a beautiful day in the city.
I hope you enjoyed coming along to Chicago :) Carol
