Well it is now 11:05 p.m. on October the 6th. Tomorrow morning we head out to the City of Duluth. We made reservations to stay at some cabin... type... things. Well actually they're round... no I'm serious, round cabins, placed 10 feet off the ground. Anyway, they're really cool.... *ahem* they are really... fantastic. (only people who go to the Buffalo co-op writing class will get that joke)

Anyway, "Moving on."

Now, I guess I should explain the title of this post: "Duluth, a city consisting of...... really big ships." Well, for those of you who do not know this already, huge 1,000 foot ships travel to and from Duluth. Carrying cargo, and a crew... I hope. And don't worry, the front's don't fall of these ships. (anyone who watches videos on David Dueck's website: www.foopaux.com will understand that)

So, I'm very excited for our vacation coming up, and I sadly... will not be able to post while I'm there. :C But I'll try to get some pictures taken and post them here when I get back.

Anyway, thats all for now folks.

Yayness, Andrew.

Ok, first of all I would like to apologize, I said in my other post that I would be writing about a work day at the Masicas. Well, uh... I never went to the Masicas. Instead I went to Chicago. So, I shall think back and write about every little thing that happened thought the entire trip... everything!

First I took a step................ then another step... ok, ok, maybe not EVERY little thing that happened, just the significant events that happened to happen when Peter happened to not have his significant happenings shirt on.... but I won't go into that story.

Day one:

Well, first of all we packed, then at about 10:30 A.M. we left, and things were pretty boring while we drove 8 hours to IBLP Headquarters. So I'll skip a few hours to when we got there........ 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, hour one..... 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, hour two, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, hour three... and so on until hour eight...

Once we got there, we drove to Eric's house, unpacked all our junk, and went in the house. My recollection of what went on inside the house if a bid foggy, but I do remember playing Battlefield 2... anyway, after doing some things inside the house... which I do not remmember... we went out for dinner at a place called Cici's Pizza Buffet. And ate some delicious pizza. Then we went to Fry's Electronics Store and looked at all of the overpriced junk in there. Then we went home, and after a while went to bed......

Day Two:

The first thing we did was get up... I think... then  my Dad made Waffles, after consuming..... one... waffle, we headed up to the train station to get a ride to Chicago Union Station. And when we got there we started our trek, I guess you could call it, to the Chicago Air Show.

After watching that marvelous air show, we started our trek back to Union Station, we walked almost 6 miles that day, now you see why I called it a trek. Heh, anyway, when we got home, we went to bed and I got a VERY good sleep that night...

Day Three:

Well on day three we got up, Dad and Eric went to get Dunken Donuts, and we ate a hearty breakfast. After that we went yet again up, or was it down..... to the train station. And we yet again went on a trek, only this time it was through the rain, the pouring rain. I got soaked from knee to toe! No, I'm serious, I had a rain poncho on and I was soaked from my knee's to my toes. I was very happy to get to that McDonalds and have a big mack meal. Yumm...

Anyway, after that we went to see if we could see ware they were filming The Dark Knight (Batman). But when we got there we were told that in was the filming for The Wanted, we thought that was strange, so we went to the other place we thought they might be filming, and sure enough, we saw big camera's and camera cranes, and lighting equipment and preview cameras, and all that other expensive junk. So we thought we had finally found that Batman set, but we saw a bunch of director chairs that said Wanted on them. So we thought that were trying to keep it a secret that it was Batman, by calling it The Wanted. But after we got home that night, Eric looked on IMDB and sure enough, it was The Wanted.

But anyway, after another long drive back to our house in Rockford Minnesota. We were greeted by the familiar faces, and stinks, of home. (and the stinks were mostly from my feet)

And that marks the end of a very eventful three days in Chicago Illinois.

Yayness, Andrew.
