I randomly checked the blog today and realized my devoted bloggers are still checking in once in a while. So, I will do one more post for the APUSH 06-08 group.
First and foremost, congrats on your AP exams. You all did a great job and I am very proud of you.
Secondly, Happy Late Birthday America! I hope you had a very patriotic 4th and thought of all of the great ones- Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, etc. Speaking of birthdays, Alex Trebek is 68!!! Wow. Still looks a dashing forty-something to me.
Very sad about Estelle Getty. May she always live in on in our Golden Girls memories.
Hope you are all having a great summer. I finished summer school and took a trip to Chicago. Very cool city. No real remanent of the gangster past but I did find an exciting historical connection while we were out walking one night. My friends called me a big history nerd but I took the picture anyway. First person to tell me the reference of this picture gets an ice cream on me at Reds!
Take care,
Ms. Major
P.S. The other pictures are also from my trip to Chicago. Got to love the SoPo Grill! Plus, they were using Idaho potatoes!! I am actually headed out to Idaho next week. Can't wait!

I went to Chicago too! When were you there?
I went to the Chicago History Museum!
JUST KIDDING!
The Hull House
Al Capone
Yes! Hull House! Our fabulous settlement school in Chicago. Nicely done Jake.
I went to Chicago the third weekend in July. I had a great time and really got to see a lot of the city. No 1920s gangsters walking around though.
You missed me by a week.
Hull House
Ughh! Jake beat me by one hundredth of a second, just like Michael Phelps did to Milorad Cavic to win his record-tying 7th Olympic Medal.
Michael Phelps is Tiger Woods in a speedo.
Red's Reunion soon? I actually ran there yesterday. I've turned into a real Richard Simmons.
So, is this other class even gonna use this?
By "other class" I mean the one that isn't as good, and that can only be Ms. Major's number two fav class to well.... you all know which class is her favorite. (It's us.)
