Holiday Trip to Chicago

Photobucket
It's that time once again to head home to Chicago from the Orlando International Airport.




Photobucket
Inside the airport they have the largest Christmas tree display I have every seen.





Photobucket
I was seriously impressed.





Photobucket
A plastic Mickey lured me over to it's miniature plastic theme park icons.





Photobucket
He almost got my one and only left handed index finger!





Photobucket
Goofy was trying to impress me with all the crap he was juggling, but there was no contest against that Christmas tree display I saw earlier.





Photobucket
The Hulk kept screaming to everyone to stay in school and not to use drugs.





Photobucket
A huge 2-dimensional Spider-Man agreed with Dr. Banner.





Photobucket
I had no idea I would need a helmet when I'm in fake space!





Photobucket
I was pretty sure this dude was laughing at me so I drop kicked him when no one was taking any pictures.





Photobucket
Visiting fake Africa may not be as breathtaking as fake outer space, but it's way cheaper than to visit the real dang thing!





Photobucket
The fake giraffe agrees.





Photobucket
Fake penguin love leads to fake fat gray-lookin' penguin babies.





Photobucket
Thumbs up to fake penguin love.





Photobucket
As I was riding a tram out to the departure gate I soaked up the Florida sun one more time.





Photobucket
I also enjoyed the wonderful Florida airport view.





Photobucket
It was the best airport tram ride EVER!





Photobucket
I spotted another wonderful Christmas tree display.





Photobucket
This was by far the best Christmas tree display I have ever seen.





Photobucket
The plane has taken off and I'm now heading to Illinois!





Photobucket
It was loads of fun.





Photobucket
Since I was going to see my friend Holly I thought I would draw her Mickey Mouse since her heart truly belongs to everything that relates to Disney.





Photobucket
I got off the plane and I think I made it to Chicago.





Photobucket
Yep...looks like I made it to Chi-town.





Photobucket
I'm a huge fan of Will Smith from the early 90's.





Photobucket
However, the ghost of Midway Airport HATES early 90's Will Smith.





Photobucket
I stumbled across the most wonderful looking Christmas tree display I have ever seen in the train station.





Photobucket
I had some time to kill while waiting for the subway train so I took a listen to the Chris and Leah Christmas Album to get into the holiday spirit.





Photobucket
I got off the subway and sensed I was close to Holly.





Photobucket
I was almost certain this was Holly's place.





Photobucket
I took a deep sigh.....





Photobucket
.....and hit the buzzer.





Photobucket
Look who showed up!





Photobucket
I was very excited.





Photobucket
I told Holly to act "artsy" and this was her reaction.





Photobucket
I told myself to act "cool" and this was my reaction.





Photobucket
A very white Wisconsin girl shows off her lovely apartment.





Photobucket
A very calm Mike Vanderwyst hangs out right behind me.





Photobucket
But hiding behind me will not get you out of a group shot!





Photobucket
A few of us hang out and reminisce about the ol' college years.





Photobucket
I decided to have my own party and drink all of Holly's nasty grape-flavored Delsym with the cap still on the bottle.





Photobucket
Holly already took some other kind of drug so she didn't care if I hogged all the Delsym.





Photobucket
Holly soon transformed into a "HOLLY" jolly old man. Maybe next time she'll listen to Dr. Banner and stay away from drugzzzzz.





Photobucket
The next morning when Holly and I were both off of our drug high we headed to Union Station and saw the most beautiful Christmas tree display you had ever seen.





Photobucket
I was impressed by how large the ornaments were.





Photobucket
Holly was impressed at how edible the ornaments were.





Photobucket
We went up to the tree to take a closer look.





Photobucket
Holly loves to show off her white Wisconsin girlish skin next to some festive Christmas bows.





Photobucket
I went in for a much closer look than Holly.





Photobucket
Then she eventually tagged along because we all know I'm so cool.





Photobucket
We were in such a festive mood!





Photobucket
I couldn't be festive for too long without downing some more Delsym and passing out next to an impressively huge ornament.





Photobucket
Then when I came to I was in a festive mood once again.





Photobucket
Holly tried to get into a festive mood with me.....





Photobucket
.....but it just didn't seem to be very authentic.





Photobucket
I decided to hang out with my new stubby tree friend, Stubby.





Photobucket
Then Holly and I decided to hang out again and I ditched Stubby once and for all.





Photobucket
Then I decided to push Holly out of the way as I attempted to act "artsy" in front of yet another impressively large ornament.





Photobucket
Holly was sad but I didn't give a crap.





Photobucket
We decided to leave because all the tourists were heading over towards the best lookin' Christmas tree display you had ever seen, and neither of us wanted to become Chicago tourists.





Photobucket
BUT IT WAS TOO LATE FOR ME!





The End...I guess.
