Last Day!

Sunset in Chicago...view from ferris wheel

Being in Chicago was everything and nothing that I expected. I knew that Pearson would treat us right after all, they are a multi-million dollar corporation. I knew that it would be first class all the way. What I wasn't expecting was hot, sit down lunches with linen table cloth and napkins, the actual tech people who I call when I have problems....seriously...I met one of the guys who handles my school and I've actually spoken to on the phone, the camaraderie, the networking opportunities, Bill Clinton in my hotel, Wolf Blitzer, the FRIENDLINESS of the people in Chicago and so much more! So glad I've had the opportunity to come....once in a lifetime event.

Last night, my son, mother and cousins from Texas said our final goodbyes to Chicago by heading to the Weber Grill and then to the Navy Pier. We had seen the Weber Grill on the Food Channel and it was everything we had hoped it would be. Then about a mile walk to the Navy Pier where we rode the ferris wheel and watched the fireworks. What a way to end the trip.
