The time is drawing near to make the big move. You guys have been absolutely incredible about providing me with your tips and experiences about Chi-Town. Here is just a few things that I have learned:
-FIRST AND FOREMOST: IT IS GOING TO BE COLD!!!! (Okay maybe that is the part that I am not looking forward to the most.)
-The place for pizza is Giordano’s. (You know I am going to miss Mellow Mushroom.)
-There are TCBYs everywhere. (Yeah!!!)
-The museums are a must see.
-We can’t wait to visit Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs. (As of now, we have tickets to several games this year and my whole family is coming Labor Day weekend for a game.)
-Maybe I won’t go to so many Bears’ games. The dome has spoiled me here in Atlanta.
-Traffic is much more doable than Atlanta and everyone takes the train.
-The YMCA is not the place to workout. It looks like I may be joining Life Time Fitness, which we have here in Alpharetta. However, there are a lot of parks to run in and they aren’t as hilly as they are here.
-The Midwest is very family oriented, which is a real plus for me.
-One challenge we had was finding a church (not many baptist in the Midwest), but it looks like there is a great church called Willow Creek that has an off campus location near us. We will keep trying.
-Garrett’s is the place for the BEST popcorn.
-The town can’t be all bad. After all, it is the home of Oprah.
-The list goes on and on.
Some of you have even been generous enough to put me in touch with your family and friends. I look forward to making friends with them and also photographing their families. Thank you all for your knowledge. Please keep the tips coming, and I will see you often here in Atlanta.
