The morning was a great wake up to the smell of waffles and muffins. The small, yet needed sleep in ensured that we would have enough energy for the long day ahead.
The day started almost instantly, with the first item being a trip to the 360 Tower Chicago. I think it's safe to say that all the boys enjoyed the incredible view from the 49th floor of the tower. From there we were able to view the entire city, as well as out into Lake Michigan (one of the five Great Lakes of America).
From there, we travelled to Soldier Field. Although the home of the Chicago Bears NFL team was not as gargantuan as the Dallas Cowboys' Stadium, the history of the place was incredible to hear!
Last but certainly not least, we travelled to what most would say was the highlight of Chicago. With our Chicago gear on, we entered the United Centre to watch the Chicago Bulls play the Los Angeles Clippers. The game went back and forth, and was exciting from start to finish. Some boys chose to support the Clippers, however most were barracking for the Bulls (I still don't know if we were cheering more for the Bulls or for Cameron Bairstow). In the end it was the home team, the Chicago Bulls, that pulled through with the win. The almost surreal experience was the best way to end an eventful day!
