Today we drove down to Glen Ellyn from our housing site in Milwaukee and had a parade at noon. Then we had a free day in Chicago until 10 PM. Beforehand, we had decided to go see Jurassic World at a theater, but couldn't find the theater so just ended up wandering around instead to see some landmarks like the Bean, Navy Pier, and Millenium Park. Half of our group wanted to ride a water taxi to Navy Pier, but the wait was 30 minutes, so I decided to go take a walk to the bean with Schuyler (someone in my group). It was really dirty from everyone touching it, but a really cool sight, especially on the ceiling inside. Then we reformed the group at a restaurant halfway in between called Pinstripes. I shared a barbecue chicken pizza and a sundae with one of the drum
majors (Jack). We got our checks then realized we needed to book it to the train station. Our GPS initially said we would arrive at 8:39 for a 8:40 train ride, but we were able to shave it down to 8:32 by walking fast and running. Even though we didn't get to see a movie, I had a great day and we got to see most of the sights of Chicago.
