Journal:
On my trip to Chicago I did a lot of things. I went shopping at Miracle Mile. Then I went to see the filed museum. Next I went to the art gallery, the pictures were amazing! Next I went to the Wrigley Stadium to see the Cubs. I said, "Go Cubs, it is your birthday, we are going to party like it is your birthday!" (I think Wrigley feels like a party.)
