First Night


Well, we arrived in Chicago at about 4:15pm Friday night (Good timing on our part) then it took us an hour and a half to drive through the city and arrive at the house where we were staying. We had pizza for lunch at Mackenzie's and pizza was on the menu for dinner at Sutton's. They were very accommodating and we ordered subs instead, thanks for that! After dinner we took a tour of the neighborhood which includes a house that was in the movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". It was Cameron's house in the movie, the one where the Ferrari was parked and they ended up kicking it and it fell into the ravine behind the house. Then we went to the beach on Lake Michigan and skipped rocks like pros. Check out the pictures! We went to a bar for a couple beers and went to bed early (since we had already been awake for nineteen hours, twelve of which was driving).


We have already seen 28 state license plates. We were so excited when a mustang sped past us with a Hawaii license plate. Jacob said "Dude, if we can get Hawaii we have a chance to see all 50!"

  1. How cool is that! Cameron's house! It actually looks familiar too. Where were you in the sailboat picture? Good luck with your bison riding at Badlands. I can't wait to see pictures of that.
