Come On, Feel the Illinoise!

finally here in Chicago. It's raining and there are a few personal things the girl is doing so I am taking a moment to blog.


The two day trip was nice. But that's all. PA, Ohio, (a side trip to Michigan) Indiana and Illinois are all pretty boring. PA had some hills, but the rest was flat and terribly boring.

The side trip to Mich wasn't bad however. We went to meet her best friend for lunch. Had some fantastic Indian food in the middle of nowhere.

The night before we stayed somewhere in Ohio for the night were we met up with Justin and his newly acquired puppy, which is yet to be named. We had a late dinner at a T.G.I. Fridays and by 10:30 or so when we left we had been the only ones there for an hour and they locked the doors as we left. Apparently Ohio didn't get the memo that people function after 8pm.

We went out for dinner and drinks after unpacking the car and vegging out for a bit. A burger and a beer was all either of us really needed. After being Eastern Time and switching to central after two days of driving threw our internal clocks off we were in bed by 10, which really felt like 11 and we managed to stay in bed till 10. The most relaxed I have felt in a while.

We have some plans for dinner and drinks throughout the week with her friends which I am looking forward to. As well as sightseeing and meandering the city aimlessly.

so far so good.
