Chicago, IL -The Windy City

The windy city! Sean showed us some of the things we shouldn't miss while we are here. The Sky Deck at the Sear's Tower looks awesome as do all the parks, restaurants and museums! You could never do Chicago in a day. As you look at this city you realize that this city has a rich history and is a major hub city in the USA!!

Titletown USA

That is right folks! Green Bay, Wisconsin! We learned about the famous Lambeau Field and about all the attractions in Green Bay. We also learned about why the "Packers" are called the packers. (Poor little farm animals.) But it is not just about meat packing! It is about all kinds of agricultural items being moved all over the place.
We discussed why Green Bay is where it is and how there are suburbs that go with cities and why they are there. Great times and big time learning and the cheese curds were great!

Escanaba, MI

I think that Michigan cheese might be better than Wisconsin! HA! We met the Mayor Leo Evans today! He showed us around the town that has everything you could ever need. He shared about the UP State Fair and all the great fishing! He also explained why people in the UP are Green Bay Packer Fans. It's logistics! We talked about what a Mayor, Governor and President do. Great times!

St. Ignace

Eric, who worked on the Mackinaw Bridge showed us around St. Ignace today. We spent a lot of time at the bridge and enjoying the sights! What an amazing structure. We also went out to Mackinaw Island and looked around. It was cool to be in a place without any cars!
