Trip Day 1

I don't know what to call this trip exactly, it could be the Kansas trip or the Chicago trip but we are going to many more places than those two alone. The church history trip? Yep, that'll be part of it but it's not all. So for now, it's just a generic trip.
This morning we got to the airport at 9 am and went through security and all that fun jazz. I'm not gonna lie, I enjoy taking my shoes off and emptying my personal bag and pockets to go inside a giant scanner. Maybe it's inconvenient for some but I think it's pretty neat. We boarded the plane and took off around 10:15. Luckily we didn't sit next to strangers, although I'm sure my sisters would claim me as a stranger when I slept, we were able to all sit in the same row. Taking off reminded me of a Disneyland ride when we shot off the ground. Even though I slept, it still felt like a pretty long flight. I woke up a half hour before we landed and even though C had the window seat, I still was able to look out the window. Clouds are so cool! They only go up so high and we were above them. (If you can't tell, we don't fly a lot. This is only our second time) When we landed we were in CHICAGO! We then went to find our luggage. This was a bit of a wait and in the process we forgot the 4th member of the Beetles band. A was wearing their shirt and we couldn't remember one of their names. We had John, Paul, Ringo and......well, it's George. Yep obviously he was forgettable. Sorry George.

We got lost on our way to finding the shuttle to take us to the car rental place. Also, having the inner kid inside me, I convinced A to ride the fast track with me again even though we already went over it once. You know, that moving strip that lets you go faster than your normal walk could ever take you. I loved it. We got to the rental place and got our fancy black minivan, still sponsoring Utah I suppose. We got to our hotel and dropped the luggage off. We went to a store to feed our empty stomachs with a snack and then we headed to the Chicago temple. We took some fun pictures. We also learned that wealthy people must live close to the temple because those houses were more like mansions. After the temple we went to get dinner. We went to get pizza because Chicago is pretty famous for their pizza. We ate it back at the hotel and then went swimming. End of day one and it's already been a ton of fun.
