The Adventures of Chicago


Well for starters I didn't lock the keys in the car and we left in time for the airport! Already off to a great start! We made our way out at 3 and got there early enough to eat and relax. We boarded belted in and before we knew it we were already landing in Chicago. The airport was very big and it took a little to find our way around. We went to the transportation station where 20$ gave us unlimited access to the train and bus around the city which made the trip very affordable. From there we took the train to downtown and started our adventure. 

Our first stop was the aquarium so we wouldn't have to wait in line all day. On our way there we went through a College Park and we were all stunned by the view of Lake Michigan, there was just something about the way it complimented the high rise apartments and office buildings. It was breathtaking. By the time we had arrived the line was about 150 people long at 8am. Luckily we were waiting in the shade. Before we knew it we were on our way in to get our bags checked and wait yet again in another line which took about half an hour.

The Maine Problem


This was an unexpected trip that was thought of on my way home from work after being given my first full 2 day weekend off. Prior to this trip I had been to Maine once before and just like usual my lucky was no different than any other day.


 We looked online at places to see and the main attractions in Maine (no pun intended) we had always seen pictures of Acadia national park but never got the chance to visit it yet, so we decided to take a two day trip up! We packed our bags Friday night and decided to leave at 4 am the next morning, little did i know... my keys were locked in my car. We found this out when we went to leave in the morning, luckily I have AAA but the wait time was 2 hours and we couldn't waste that much time.
