Kenosha/Chicago

My flight from London to Atlanta was amazing. I had two window seats to myself and, even though some girl kept trying to talk to me, I got 2 hours of sleep and a lot of reading. The flight was on time, smooth, and came in a half an hour early. The flight from Atlanta to Chicago, though, was terrible. It was 40 minutes delayed, completely packed, and terrifying. One of the most terrifying things is to watch lightning from a plane window...watching it get closer and closer, then only seeing the flash because it's right on top of the plane. The airport in Chicago got shut down for about 20 minutes because of the weather, so we had to stop in Des Moines for 40 minutes before the weather cleared up. It was terrible. From the time I left Roshni's to the time I got to my sister, Heather's was 23-ish hours.

Heather's cousin, Kenny. He'd never had sushi before, so he's contemplating how to eat it.

This was the only building left standing after the Chicago fire. 


Views from the Hancock Building. Look at the rooftop pools. I'm about to be in one of those bad boys in Seattle with Lindsey and Stefano. 


couldn't afford to buy it, but I snuck this. :)

The most AMAZING perfiteroles EVER! 
a night out. Heather took most of the pictures...they're on Facebook. I can't be bothered to work THAT hard and try to put both of our pictures on here. I just liked this one. 
OBAMAAAA!!!!
