Thank You Chicago

Wow, what a beautiful city.  One of the most common things that has been said amongst the four of us over the past two days is how impressed we have been with Chicago.  With beautiful views of Lake Michigan, clean streets, and an easy to navigate public transit system, Chicago beats out New York in all of our minds.

The people of Chicago have been very friendly, giving us discounts and pointers along the way.  People seem to be very receptive to the whole road trip idea, and it has sparked some great conversations only two days in.

Although we were unable to see some of the sites we had on our list, our time in Chicago has been wonderful.   Thanks again to the Glabman family for hosting us in Highland Park on Monday night.

Finally, a special thanks to Jessie Deisinger for saving us $80 over the past two days by providing us with free parking as well as great advice on things to do and see.  Her directions and guidance has been much appreciated.

We are off to Mt. Rushmore tomorrow and have a long 14 hour drive in front of us.  Waking up nice and early tomorrow to get on the road.
