The girl's first experience in Chicago was the Ogilvie Transportation Center. As soon as we arrived to the train station they were mesmerized by how huge the place was. We did not have time to spend there when we first arrived but we spent an hour and a half there before we came back home.


The revolving doors that are everywhere in Chicago gave them a problem every time. They would either go too slow or too fast but they always ended up getting dirty looks from other people. Our hotel had automatic revolving doors but they would stop moving the second you got in them. It was always fun to watch the girls as the doors stopped and they hit the glass.

When we went back to the Ogilvie Transportation Center to catch our train home we had plenty of time to check it out. Our first stop was to the book store. The two hour train ride home made everyone want to buy a new book. Then we went to find some dinner.

Unfortunately, we were rushed the entire trip so the only food we ate while in Chicago was sandwiches from the grocery store by the hotel and at the train station before we left. At least the train station had decent food.

There first floor is full of stores and a food court so we all could get different things. My younger two girls got food at the Pizza Hut, James got a huge Italian Beef sandwich, and my oldest and I got Gyros. I really had hoped to go out to eat but I guess that will have to wait until next time.
