Young Adult Chicago Trip


The "Young Adults" had a wonderful time Saturday shopping in downtown Chicago as well as looking at the Christmas lights. We enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the city life as well as shopping at the Water Tower Place on the Magnificent Mile. It was neat to see all of the Christmas shoppers scurrying around on Michigan avenue.

We ate dinner in the mezzanine at the Water Tower Place food court. There were tons of restaurants to enjoy, and we had a great time relaxing and eating together. Someone (I won't say who) ordered a gigantic piece of chocolate cake as big as the Hancock building!

One experience that none of us will forget is our being "trapped" in the elevator as we were heading back to our cars in the parking garage. We found out quickly that Lacey B. was a wee bit claustrophobic! Fortunately she didn't have the same experience as this woman. I think this will be an experience that the young adults will remember. None of us had ever been trapped in an elevator before. If you are interested, I did get some "footage" of Lacey as she was trying to keep calm.

A big "Thank You" to the Berryman's for helping to drive and to Mel and Karen for helping plan the trip.
