Baltimore

So about a week and a half after getting back from Europe I went to Baltimore for an accounting conference. We had quite the adventure traveling. On the way there we made it to Denver and then got delayed four hours due to a bird hitting our plane that was coming from LA. Most of our time was spent doing accounting stuff but we did have a little bit of free time. We had some awesome seafood and got to spend some time at the Aquarium which was really cool!

On our way home, we got delayed from Baltimore to Chicago about 3 hours due to both weather and mechanical issues. We missed our connection to Salt Lake by 30 minutes. We had all driven to the airport together and so we needed to be on the same flight back. The next flight they could book us on was not until the next day until 6:00pm - stuck in Chicago overnight. By the time we got to our hotel it was around 12:30 and we were all hungry - this meant pizza at 1:30 in the morning. We also had some interesting hotel accommodations - there was one room for the girls with one king-size bed. One room was being remodeled and looked as though the door had been axed through - slightly sketchy when you are in a suburb outside Chicago in the middle of the night. On top of it all - I had checked a bag with all of my clothes and toiletries - same clothes for two days straight. I guess the saying you don't know what you have till it's gone definitely applies here. 

So when stuck in Chicago for a morning see some of the sights. We walked down by the lake, saw the bean, the fountains, and then got some Chicago pizza. So yummy! After getting a little taste of Chicago I definitely want to go back.

When we finally got to the airport after a one hour delay we were finally on our way home.

I am definitely okay not flying for a little while. Quite the adventure!
