Several of our players at Tomorrow Is Yesterday made the trip to Chicago to join in the fun for
Journey Across America (or JAA)

Here's what they had to say about their fun day there!

Directly from mailkd7:

Hey Guys! I am back and here's the details,
Around 7:30, my dad and I where getting in the car. We were headed to Harvard....
From There we took the train to CHICAGO, we walked for a mile searching for the mall. After a while (and a little help from signs ) we found it. The first thing I did was get my trainer certif. . Then I tried PKMN Trozei Download Station. Then we though we would get in line for the Traveling PKMN Center, But we stopped for lunch at Potbelly's Sandwhich works. As we were ordering I saw Gunner, Nate, and Jeremiah. After Lunch we got in line for the PKMN center again, we were farther than earlier. Then as you guys know i called TIY. At the PKMN Center, I bought a Pikachu Hat (FYI: i am wearing it next sat.). Then, I realized that the Top 20 download, I was never going to get. However The celebi line only had 5 peeps! After that we headed back to the train station, on the way I put on my Pikachu Hat and alot of people didn't mind, unlike in roscoe, when if I wore it I would be DEAD MEAT! I got home Around 6:00
