“Get out!”

Describe your most memorable vacation.

My most memorable vacation was my first plane ride. We took a girls trip to Chicago right before Christmas. My first time through airport security. I had on a black hoodie. I watched as they made people take their hoodies off. When it was my turn; I looked at the man and said, “I don’t have a shirt on under this. I’m not taking it off.” He didn’t ask me to. 🎉

As we were de-boarding, the pilot comes over the intercom gives his “thank you for flying Southwest” speech then adds “in the words of my father when I turned 18, get your shit and get out.” 😂

This was before Trump’s political debut. At this point, he was a real estate mogul and The Apprentice might have been on t.v. The hotel (one of Trump’s) was breath taking. Everything was so beautiful. The decor. The rooms. Christmas was elegant. In college, my dorm had 11 floors. This was the tallest building I had been in at this point in my life.

We ate at Uno Pizza. This was pizza you had to eat with a fork. It was amazing. Topping weren’t willy nilly placed on the crust, they were layers, thick layers of pizza deliciousness. The pizza was served in a pie pan. Not on a sheet. Pizza pie indeed.

My friends had been to Chicago before. They remembered a shoe store that we walked miles to find. In the snow. Wind blowing. Feet freezing snow. On the way back, we hailed a cab. My first cab ride. It was worth every penny.

When we woke the next morning, snow covered the farris wheel that looked so small from our window. Over night, Chicago received 10 1/2 inches of snow. 😂 We had no idea we were walking through a blizzard to find shoes. 🤭
