and this one is from millennium park
Hey, so I kind of left you guys hanging. This is the rest of my parents trip here in photos and if I can be bothered tonnes of words !so after our eating/sightseeing/freezing fest in Chicago we got the beautiful 2 layer Amtrak train to Lawrence.
At first we hung out in the viewing lounge with some snacks
it was really good because we got to see quite a bit before it got dark and we could all sit next to each other
then at 7:30 we went to the dinner cart for some dinner. It was really good I had a nice burger and I think mum and dad had steak.
it was amazing that the people who worked there managed to pour drinks and all sorts whilst on a moving train. It doesn’t feel like u are so high up in the train even though we were on the top floor the whole time. And the trains are really nice and spacious tons of leg room and they organise where u sit pretty well, rather clever.
Inevitably we got really sleepy and passed out !
on 12:30 Monday morning we arrived in Lawrence. You could def tell it was a lot warmer that Chicago but it was still cold. We got a taxi and it dropped mum and dad off at the hotel and I went home. This is a pic of where they stayed
The next day mum and dad came up to meet me and the union where I bought them lunch with my magic money card. Which is my uni card and when I get a meal plan they put $250 on it. This is us outside the union tith one of the many jayhawks round town. Kind of like the cow parade in Edinburgh…except with jayhawks
after brunch my mum and my dad walked me to my class so I showed them this house am going to live in. although the pic really dosent do it justice
I went to stay with my mum and dad at their hotel on Wednesday night, the next day we all had breakfast together, it was really good. And we got to sit at the window so we could people watch on mass street
as you can see the bad weather followed us
snow ploughs sorted it out a little though
heres mum in the hotel foyer
don’t know how they let a scruff like me in
my mum dressed up as me
dad and a buffalo
the roof of urban outfitters here, rather odd. And yes it is all the same cool stuff from home except cheap as chips !
the hotel room was really big and nice
there was a powercut at the hotel so we had to use the tradesmans entrance since the lift was broken!
on Friday night I ditched my parents and went to fridas for a cocktail night. I had a really good night and frida was quite the hostess, she made loads of nice stuff to eat, wish I hadn’t went to mrs Es first !
but if I hadn’t went to mrs Es my mum couldn’t of done this
my mum and dad came and checked out my flat
Ok guys….this may be a big shock….but I did their laundry
this is a small sandwich in wallmart
we went to zen zero for dinner one night and my dad ate these !
me and mum had much more normal stuff
I have a whole load more of pictures for Lawrence but I think that will do for now. Il upload the rest later and write some more
