Chicago: Last day!

Last day! And there isn't a whole lot to write. Brian went and grabbed us all breakfast and brought it back to the room. We packed up our things and took it slow then headed for the airport. The traffic was insane!!! And an uber said it was going to be around $120! We figured it would take forever and the girls had asked about the L... so we figured, might as well take it! 

The girls couldn't figure out why it said Forest Park! But had to get a picture of their school name. We jumped on the L and rode it straight to the airport. It was SO easy. It took about 45 minutes but was only $5! 

Snapped this picture of the girls walking under the L. 

Kate is THAT traveler. She isn't letting her things get out of sight. She isn't letting go of anything! I thought it was so funny how she was gripping everything. 

And to the airport we went. We got airport Chili's and it was disgusting. We realized very quickly that vacation land was over and it was back to real life. 

they are seasoned pros now.
