Vacation: Day 1 Posted at 07:20 AM - 06/30/09 in General by Dennis

Today's Mission:  Drive the nearly 400 miles to our hotel in Chicago (Naperville), IL.

8:30am - Leave the house.
8:35am - Leave the house again (we forgot some stuff).
9:05am - Pick up breakfast (Hoeckele's Bakery)
12:30pm - Stop for gas and lunch
3:50pm - Arrive at the Country Inns & Suites, Naperville, IL.
4:05pm - Arrive at the hot tub/pool area (Ahhhhhh!)
5:30pm - Head out for dinner, we decided to go to Lou Malnati's Pizza (If you read my blog, you might recognize it as the same pizza company my wife bought my birthday meal from).
6:00pm - Arrive at the restaurant.  Our GPS gave us the wrong address, but after parking and consulting the downtown maps we were able to find our way to the old converted firehouse that is Malnati's Pizzeria.
6:45pm - We're still waiting on our food, who knew that it would be so buzy on a monday night.
7:00pm - Mmmmmm, pizza!  It was well worth the wait.
7:30pm - A quick trip around the riverwalk area, and we're on our way to the store to pick up water and some Bear's shirts.
9:00pm - Time to get in bed and relax with a book.
10:00pm - Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
