Illinois
by Frankie

When I drove my truck to Illinois I had so much fun. First I went to Abraham Lincoln's house, where he used to live. It was amazing to see the kind of house he lived in when he was born. Then I went to Chicago, the biggest city in Illinois. As I walked along Lake Michigan, I understood why it is called the windy city. Then I went to a Chicago Cub game. I caught a Sammy Sosa foul ball. After the game I went to their locker room with that ball and got it signed by all of the Cubs. Then I went to Glacier Terminal Moraine, to see the big mountains. They were huge! Next I drove to Urbana, the home of the University of Illinois. Then I went to a Chicago Bears game. After the game I met all the players. They were big! Finally, I went to the capital of Illinois, Springfield. Illinois is sure an interesting state.
