Man, my cousin is so much fun to hang out with. Not only are we extremely close in age, but we also have a lot of the same personality traits. I know that there are plenty of people who aren’t that close with their cousins, so I feel fortunate to have a cousin with who I can get along so well.
Before this month, the last time I had seen my cousin was Christmas. Since we live in different states, we don’t get to see each a lot, but we also make sure to make the most of the opportunities that we get.
As I was trying to decide what I wanted to do with my three day weekend (as a result of the President’s Day holiday), I realized that it would be a ton of fun to go to Chicago and hang out with my cousin for the weekend. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to find an affordable flight, but not only did I track down a reasonable flight price online, but I also found a discounted Chicago car rental (which meant that I was able to surprise my cousin by driving directly from the airport to her house).
