Flat Joe visits Chicago, Illinois

Hello class!

Yesterday, Flat Joe and I went to Chicago, which is a big city in Illinois. Can you find it on the map? I’ll give you a hint, it’s next to a really big lake!
Chicago is a very neat city, but it is a little scary because the buildings are so big! In fact, the tallest building in the country is in Chicago, and it is called the Sears Tower. We could see the Sears Tower was taller than all the other buildings as we drove in towards the city. But even though the Sears Tower is the tallest, a lot of the other buildings were huge too!

Do you know what Chicago’s nickname is? It’s the Windy City, and I bet you can guess why! The whole time Flat Joe and I were there, it was cold and VERY windy. I had to hold on tight to Flat Joe so he wouldn’t blow away!

There are a lot of cool things to see in Chicago, and they have a lot of sports teams too. Chicago is also famous for their pizza, so guess what Flat Joe and I had for dinner! It was so yummy, I really want to go back and have some more! What do you like on your pizza? I like pepperoni, black olives, and mushrooms, but Flat Joe likes anchovies, pickles, and peanut butter on his pizza—gross!
We had a lot of fun in the Windy City, and we decided if we go back, we will go to the top of the Sears Tower and look around, while we eat our pizza!
Be good,
Joe and Flat Joe
