I'm back to my Chicago content part 2! The second and full day in the city was pretty busy! Our first stop was The Color Factory which was one of the coolest experiences I've ever had!
It was room after room of immersive experiences involving color! One room was very animated with tons of places to pose and take pictures and tons of mirrors that gave it a maze-like effect. Another room featured colorful horns that made noise when you moved in front of it, so with a group of people it made a lot of cool music. Yet another featured balloons that were suspended in the air by air holes in the floor.
In fact, most of the rooms felt happy, but I suppose that one had an added burst of joy in it! And of course, there was the ball pit!
I have not been in a ball pit since I was a kid at McDonald's or Chuck E Cheeze! It is HARD to wade through a ball pit! It felt similar to walking in water, except I'd argue it was a bit harder. At least water moves around your body, the balls you had to step on or around! But it was such fun!
It felt like I was reliving my childhood!
I really did enjoy the architecture of the city. Many buildings had very distinct looks and character to them as opposed to a skyline of buildings that all look the same. It really made the city so beautiful. And The river itself was so beautiful! I enjoyed walking around the city. My only gripe was that the way people were happy to lay on their horns in the city! Chill out, would you?!
I was so proud of myself for this trip! For planning it, booking it, not chickening out, then navigating the city relatively well! (I may have gotten turned around a time or two, but nothing terrible!)
Chicago, you were a dream! Thanks for having me!
I'll be back, don't you worry! =D
