When my husband deployed last fall, I promised PB and Monster that we would have a year full of adventures. So far, we've gone to DC several times, NYC, and now, Chicago. I think I'm keeping up my end of the bargain.
Thursday, July 25th, we left our house heading to Chicago. I drove. Just me and the kids. We stopped for the night just over the West Virginia/Ohio border, then continued on, stopping in West Lafayette to check out where I went to College, and the Triple X family restaurant. The kids and I saw this restaurant on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives a while back, and I commented that it was located near where I lived while in college. When I mentioned that I wanted to take the kids through there, PB immediately asked to go to the restaurant. (I just remembered that we always called it the triple chi. Cause we were so cool...lol). Then we finished off our trip north of Chicago late that evening. Over the course of the week, we visited local attractions near my friends house, Chicago, and Six Flags. Friday morning, we got up, packed, loaded up the car, and drove home. We stopped in Michigan to see Bug, and got home in the wee small hours of the morning Saturday morning. There is a lot more to tell you about all those days, but tonight is a recap, teaser, taste of what is to come.
But right now, I still feel like I'm recuperating from driving all stinking night. And my bed is calling me. Sweet dreams.
