Red Roof Inn Chicago Northbrook

Here are all the photos we took while we were visiting Grandma Nana.

Chicago SUCKS Laffy Taffy, Ok, i have officially concluded that Chicago sucks dog butt. We just spent what felt like a year and a half in Chicago's Eden Expressway. The road was, seriously, bumper to bumper. I think the people that were behind us could tell what we had four breakfast. Which was very good. O that sounded very A.D.D. Hehehe.

So last night I set off the smoke alarm!! It was fun, but I felt horrible. Thank GOD there were none of these little waterer thingys in the ceiling. We started day two off with a tick, but thank goodness it was just in the car- not on any of us. Driving was NOOO FUN and the TRAFFIC! ho.ly. COW. bumper to bumper or a hour and a half, just to go 8 miles, when you are ALL about to pee your pants- is NOO FUN! but it does makes everyone a little crankyer. I learned that if you just dont say anythi...

We entered Chicago around noon. The closer we got to the center of the city, the more we were coming that much closer to an accident. People were cutting off truckers and horns blared. All around it was a total bust trying to get to the pier to take the tour of Chicago from the water. That SUCKED. But, on the happier side we got to see Nana. The poor thing, though, has not remembered to clean her house since the last time someone visted her. Oh well, She was still nice to see. Well, other the...

So, we left on Thursday. We drove from home to Fort Cody in North Platte, Nebraska. The home of Buffalo Bill. They claim to be Nebraska's largest souvenir and western gift store. Fort Cod is a landmark on the prairie, open since 1967. It is one of the West's largest and most unique Roadside attractions. There were some books, leather goods, jewelry, T-shirts, toys, wester gifts and a two headed cow. I think the girls posted all of their photos in their blogs. Some of them are pretty funny!!! ...

We got done seeing Nana, she is fine, but she is feeling kinda lonely. She really wanted us to stay a little longer. Even though we had to repeat: our names, ages, able to drive, if we helped mom drive, how long the trip was going to be, if we been to the house, talked to Glen, how long she was at the assisted living, and course that we didn't need any refreshments. She's a really nice woman! She was also kinda put out that she didn't have any thing to offer us. I think that she was a little ...

After Nana's we got Grilled Cheesed. Wisconsin is known for its cheese (for any if you who don't know that) and on the way to the mall we were behind and in front of Wisconsin people. At the mall we painted and then had dinner, but the entire dinner I couldn't help but find myself always staring at this HUGE mole. no joke- it was the size of a marble. And I noticed it sort of jiggled every time the woman it owned chewed. Well now we are back at our home for the night and us girls (me and Cait...
