The boys have been wanting to see a Major League Soccer game in person, so for Fall Break this year, Jason made that happen. He and our friend, Donnie, found a game in Chicago and then planned a 4 day trip around it from October 12-15.
Our first stop was Indianapolis. We had a great time walking around the city all afternoon exploring. I think the highlight of Indianapolis for the kids was the NCAA Hall of Champions, and the virtual sports simulator was fun for all of us!
After spending the night in Indianapolis, we headed for Chicago. This is the first time the boys and I have ever been to Chicago, and we loved it! We walked a lot, ate a lot, and had tons of fun! The first day, we went to the top of the Willis Tower and got an awesome view of Chicago.
The night of the soccer game was freezing, but it was so much fun! Seeing the boys' faces light up as they watched these professional soccer players on that field was priceless. They have already decided that we need to travel to different states and watch more games in person, which I think is an awesome idea!
We spent the next day shopping, seeing the "beach," exploring the zoo, and we ended the day at Navy Pier.
