I remembered the excitement and the energy as I packed for the trip. I was even more excited about being able to get away from school for the next couple of days. At the time, I was in fifth grade and I never had any previous experience of traveling out of state. We were heading to Chicago, the windy city to attend my uncle wedding. Many of my relatives lived there and it was our first time visiting. The anticipation of being able to meet my relatives was overwhelming and I knew that the trip would be something great to reminisce in the future.
