Last weekend some of my family and I took a trip to Chicago. It consisted of my mom's little sister and oldest sister along with my mom, sister and little cousin. As we walked off the train and people everywhere I was ready to get back on the train and head to Southern Illinois. On the train ride there were cornfields and bean but nothing like what I am use to. In the city I rode in my first taxi and also my first subway ride. The taxi ride I was scared at first because I have watch to much CSI. After the first taxi ride we started going in taxi vans and all of us together and I was good then. I did not think the one guy stood a chance with seven women, let alone Wilson women. While in Chicago we went to a show and just spent time together. From going to the windy city I learned that the country is where I am to be. When I got back from my trip I took a trip over to the mill and talked with the employer and have them my permission letter and consent form and took a few pictures. (Which are posted on my page if you would like to check them out.) While I was taking the pictures I was able to talk with one of the workers. He was very nice and I look forward to asking him a few more questions. I talked to him about how dirty it was and he explained by they always either come to the front of the truck and talk to you or run to the back to get out of the dust. It really just depends on which way the wind is blowing. I enjoyed my time in the city with the family but I do not care if I ever go back. I am happy right here being a farmers daughter.

Sounds like you had a pretty fun weekend!... Chicago is so much bigger than what were use to , i can't imagine what it was like. I've never been on a train or a taxi , i understand what you mean by being together. i don't like going anywhere by myself, that i haven't been to before...glad you were able to take a trip to the mill to take some pictures!i'm going to hopefully have some up next week . :)

It sounds like an eventful weekend. I am with you on the whole taxi and CSI thing. I have never been on a long train ride or in a taxi, so I would be freaked out a little. He would have to be good to take 7 women. The picture of the elevator is really neat. I bet it is very dirty there, and when it is windy I bet it is a lot worse.
