Chicago was full of a million fun things to do. First I went to a Cubs game, got some autographs, got a cubs hat and shirt, and saw the Cubs beat the Nationals. I went to Bubba Gump Shrimp to eat, then to Harry Caray's bar to sit down and watch the World Cup games.

While we were were waiting I ordered the stadiums famous chicken and waffle sandwich; it was so good. It had two waffles drenched in syrup as buns and a crispy chicken patty in the middle.

On the bus ride we had lots of snacks including cookies, chips and a little bit of candy, we watched the Minions movie, and we played card games.
