You can check out our pictures geographically by clicking on the link below and clicking on each of the pink hot spots, these are where we have taken pictures in the USA. Hopefully next year we will be adding some more countries to the mix as well.

Made it to Chicago, Back at Our Suite in Club Quarters

A delicious meal after too much fast food this week was called for.... so we ate downstairs at a pricy, but worthwhile pub. The calamari and salmon made the 7+ hour drive from minnesota worth all the sunburns and tiredness.


We did have some time to stop in Wisconsin at the Cheese Chalet for some delicious string cheese and salsa to sample.

Heading Back to Chicago

We went to Mall of America yesterday, July 5th... Lots of crazy stores and people. There was an amusement park complete with roller coasters inside the mall.

This morning we head back home and stay the night in Chicago in the same suite we stayed in on the way up. We are going to check out some of the nightery in downtown, since we should be arriving around 5pm.

More videos and pictures should be posted tonight.

There is not a Sonic within 150 miles, but I found one in Athens, OHIO, so I think we are going to detour to there on our way back.



So we are going to have to drive a little farther south from Chicago and then cut across east.
