Flashback Friday, First Day of July!

20 days until my birthday and so far I know I'm getting Cocoa Puffs cereal and Toaster Strudels. I get them once a year because they're "bad." Today's photos are from a stay in downtown Chicago this past Christmas. My parents and I went with our church by train to the National Association of the Church of God (NACOG) Joint Conference. It's always the days after Christmas and lasts about 4 days. We stay at a nice hotel where the conference is housed. There are morning, afternoon, and evening services plus classes and fun activities for the different groups (seniors, youth, men, women, kids). This year we (youth) went skating. Between all the activities and services we still have time to go and enjoy the city i.e. SHOP!
     About the photos, the quality isn't great because I took the first one with my iLap webcam and I took the second with my phone.

View from my hotel room.

The tall black building in the back left is the John Hancock building

This is an edit of the top photo. The building I'm pointing to is the condo I want to someday live in.
