Things I Learned in Chicago #NIBTravel

23 Comments/ 5022/ 4

There will be a multitude of posts coming over the next couple of weeks detailing our North Iowa Blogger trip to Chicago.  Suffice it to say it was everything I had hoped for and more.  The 8 of us had a great time.

Friendships were made stronger.

Laughter was loud.

Jokes were many.

Hashtags were created.

I took a 2 hour nap Sunday afternoon. Chicago plum wore me out.

So instead of a long post I will give you just a few things that I learned due to my trip to Chicago on today’s blog. Stay tuned for more posts beginning Thursday.

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
