My very first trip to Chicago was great!! Although being sick as can be and being such a short visit, I had so much fun!! Dan and I stayed with his best friend from childhood Richard and his wife Jackie in Poplar Grove, IL.
We had been planning since January to visit Richard and Jackie, but as time got closer we were contemplating whether or not we should go with money being a little tight. Not only that, but as I mentioned in my previous blog I got sick (which by the way, I am still sick UGH). So of course I didn't want to go being miserable the whole time and more importantly I didn't want to get Richard and Jackie sick!! But anyway as you know now, we decided to go because Dan misses his best friend a lot, and he really wanted me to see Chicago for the first time (and of course I really wanted to go as well).
Stupid me forgot to carry around my camera for the first day, but we just stuck around and toured the town of Rockford. But of course I had it for Chicago!

It's the little things that bring friends together. lol
It's great to have true friends!

Silly Dan!! This place reminded me a lot of inside the Opryland Hotel.
Tall!
