Chicago, A New Experience

Our daughter came home from summer camp today. In fact, she didn't get dehydrated like we thought, and had a great time. It was very hot both Tuesday and Wednesday with highs in the mid to upper 90s, but when the cold front came in late Wednesday night, they had a pleasant day Thursday. She got home about 1pm, and we headed out the door for Chicago around 2 pm. After a pleasant 7 hour drive, we arrived at the Marriott Northwest hotel here in Northwest Chicago. I've never been to the windy city, and am somewhat nervous about the traffic. We traveled Interstate nearly the entire way, crusing steadily around 80 mph without seeing any police. We didn't really like the tollway, but that seems to be the norm.
