Vacation, cont: Through Chicago

As the kids said, "Now we can say we've been there," although Husband and I visited Chicago once before. Toll roads and booths were a new experience for the kids. At one point we got stuck behind a man who was trying to pay the toll with a hundred dollar bill. After too many minutes of waiting he/we learned you can't do that.



The "industrial chic" of drawbridges, old buildings and quirky advertising kept us entertained as we crawled along through town.


The traffic-not so entertaining. We got very familiar with the cars around us and observed the trains as another form of transportation. Not sure which is better. Started seeing a lot of motorcycles, then realized that it was getting to be time for the Sturgis, SD Motorcycle Rally, so the bikes were all headed that way.

Home of the White Sox.


After finally navigating past the long awaited downtown skyline, we headed to our last night of vacation.
