Destination: Chicago - On Sunday Ashley and I set out early in the morning for Chicago. This was the first thing I saw as I drove into town (well, technically not the FIRST thing) anyway...
Detours: ALL OVER THE PLACE. And Construction - Everywhere.
These are on Hwy. 2 in Lincoln.
But we are pretty sure that Illinois used up all the traffic cones, barrels, whatever those are called, that they own. We drove 46 miles in an hour and a half on the way home. And I am pretty sure that they eliminated one lane of Interstate 80 for about half our trip. Unfortunately, I didn't get a photo of our favorite sign. A large orange one that read "Flagger". Then, there was a little man, "Flagger", probably, walking along the interstate with his orange vest on and a "Slow" sign in a wagon and I was pretty sure he was our "lead car" for that 46 miles. We had a good laugh about that one.
Details: Ashley's life in an envelope - Unfortunately, I fell down on the photo taking end of this trip. Too busy talking, eating and shopping. But she accomplished what we went for and that is that she got her Visa applied for without any trouble. We were done with that before 9:30 a.m. and then we had a whole, very fun day in Chicago.
Dinner: Or lunch, as we say - L'Appetito at the Hancock Building
It was a beautiful day in all ways. The weather was wonderful. We were a great disappointment to all the people who think that you need to eat pizza when you go to Chicago. We didn't. But we did eat at Big Bowl, L'Appetito, Weber Grill and of course, we got coffee at Starbucks.
Done: Applying for a Visa - One more thing that Ashley can check off her list of things that need to happen before Spain becomes home.
