And apparently dealing with a foot of snow.
Well, they got in okay - flights were a couple of hours late. They are excited because they were given the key to the minibar when they checked in (they all turn 21 over the next 6 weeks). I told them to check the prices before diving in.

It's actually a pretty nice day today - bright sunshine, not much wind, although temps are not going to get out of the 30's. They will have a great time. Wicked is awesome.

We haven't heard from them, so they are either out and about or sleeping off a mini-bar attack.

Are any of them 21? I'm surprised they gave them a mini-bar key.

p.s. - they can't make excuses about the weather. It's a beautiful day despite all the snow on the ground.

It's very cold, but there is something special about downtown Chicago in the winter.

The only time I enjoy it is walking down Michigan Ave. (espec. by the Water Tower) before X-mas at night.
