Yesterday was our last day in Chicago *tears*. In the morning we did some last minute souvenir shopping as I still didn't have a snow globe for the collection. In the end I couldn't find any that I liked so I bought a paperweight instead. It is a really cool paperweight and it will just have to do. I also bought hoodie that says Chicago which I am very happy about since Chicago has been my favourite city so far.
We then caught a train to Libertyville which is an hour north of Chicago and is where Tracy (who we met in Seattle) lives. Tracy is still away but we met her daughter Brittney who is our age and her two teenage sons. We then went for a wander around Libertyville (so cute and we felt like we were almost in Stars Hollow!) and then had a late lunch at Morgan's which is the bar that Brittney works at. We hung around there for a while, as Brittney had to start work, until it came time for us to catch the train back to Chicago.

The high school just had their Homecoming so all the shop windows were decorated with Libertyville High defeating the rival school.Back in Chicago and walking back to the normal train from the Metra (that goes around the state), it was absolutely freezing! And it's not even winter there yet! We ducked into our favourite Caribou Coffee for hot apple cider. Then back to the hostel to pack for our very early ride to the airport. On to Washington D.C.
Really loved your Chicago updates! So glad you loved it there. We will totally have to go there together one day, as well as many other places :)
