Luke's Trip to Chicago

This year I went to Chicago with my dad. Our flight got delayed so we had a close call. When we got there it was very late at night so right when we got to our hotel we fell asleep. The next day we went to the Willis Tower, formerly known as the Sears Tower, it was very high up to the top floor. They recently installed a little glass cubicle that you can walk out on and look down through the floor. When we left the Willis Tower we went to the Field Museum which is kind of like a giant natural history museum. The place had the world's largest T-rex skeleton, it was pretty huge. We spent the rest of the day there and then went back to our hotel for a couple of hours. Later that evening, we went on a bike tour where we bot to see all the sights of Chicago. The next day we went to the Shedd Aquarium. We saw a lot of sharks and there was this cool glass tube that you could walk through and see all the sea creatures swimming around you. We also saw the Adler Planetarium where we saw a couple of shows about the universe we also saw some astronimical exhibits. The next day we went to church and just lounged around the rest of the day. The next and last day we spent the whole day at the Museum of Science and Industry, which was my favorite place. We got to see a smart home and a bunch of other things.
We also tried Chicago's famous stuffed pizza, it was really good! The shrimp wasn't so good so if you ever go there don't order it. The flight back was really tiring but I was ready to go home. THE END
