Our last day on the road for this trip. My usual earlier rise than Cindy this morning, so I headed off to get some breakfast for us before our drive. Another Yelp find for a cafe with organic, locally grown edibles. Had a nice breakfast in the room, then got ready, packed up the truck and headed back out on I-55.
Stopped for lunch along the way by hitting up an Aldi grocery store to get a random assortment of snacks which we consumed over the new couple hours. Also stopped for gas nearby and came across the Russell Stover outlet store for $1.47 in some excellent chocolate treats. Rest of the drive was uneventful, basically corn fields and windmills for the next few hours until Chicago.
Pulled into my sister and brother-in-law’s place in Grayslake, IL about 6pm. My parents came over and we had a great BBQ for the evening.
Jalapeño and Tripp meeting for the first time!
