My friend from college, Kayla, (pictured above) is coming up to see me! I'm really excited for my first visitor, and I requested the days off so we could go do a bunch of Chicago stuff while she's here. We're going to try and go see the Home Alone house, because it's about that time of year. It's only about 20 or 30 minutes north, and I'm pretty sure a train goes there. It's for sale, check it out: http://homealonehome.coldwellbanker.com/
I also want to go to the Lincoln Park Zoo (downtownish) because they have a cool Christmas set up called Zoo Lights. I went the other day for the first time, but the lights weren't on, and I think that would be pretty cool to see. The zoo is completely free, and I didn't even see a gate, so I guess everything is open 24/7, except for the exhibits that are indoors. They have lions and gorillas and everything, but it's located in the middle of the city. It's the weirdest thing.
I'm excited to have someone from Texas coming to see me, and I'm sure some of my homesickness will disappear for a while. It should be a lot of fun! I'll let you know, of course.
