 the elementary school that i went to

 it's crazy how much i actually remember of Joliet.  I was like 7 years old when we moved to Ohio

Taft Elementary School.  I went here for Kindergarten.

 I was born at St. Joseph's Medical Hospital.

The hospital. 

The high school my mom went to.  It really looks like a castle and it is huge.

The library I went to as a kid. :)

There are a ton of draw-bridge things and when I was little, I was scared to death of them.

 We went to a Conservatory in Joliet.

 Bird of Paradise.  I love those flowers!

Museum of Science and Industry (Chicago)

A Walk in the Park

This is a weird mushroom thingy...i think.  There were a ton of them.

Wind Turbines!

So the story is, is that my friends Kerri, Lindsay, and I went to Ft. Wayne to do a little shopping.  On the way back we so brilliantly decided to visit a wind turbine near Van Wert.  We traveled down a gravel path to find one of these things.  In my car.  Let me tell you it was very difficult to drive a car in this gravel.  More like rocks.  I could feel the car sliding around even though we were going below 10 mph.  Well we really wanted to see one of these things up close.  It was worth it though...I got some really good pics. 

We lay under them and looked up.  It looked as if it was slowly leaning down towards us...pretty scary.
