Chicago Sucks!
It took us 2 and a half hours to get from the toll road entrance in Gary, IN to Elgin, IL.
Arrgh. I suppose there was some consolation. The weather was in the mid-70's, sunny, and breezy, so when we were stopped in traffic we had the windows rolled down and had such a nice breeze. Also, western WI is just beautiful, except that whole tourist-trap-waterparks-and-casinos part in the Wisconsin Dells.
The Princess is doing well, and today she even seemed comfortable in the car, but how much of that is actual comfort and how much of that is the sedatives is not clear...
For those of you keeping track, today was OH, IN, IL, and WI. We're 2 miles from MN, which will be first thing tomorrow.
Oh yeah, and I had ACTUAL White Castle sliders for the first time (as in not pre-frozen) last night for dinner.
Tonight was chicken tenders salad and ice cream at Perkin's courtesy of this gentleman. Thanks, Paul!
Today's funny:
I don't think I would patronize this particular establishment.... Not sure exactly what goes on there.....

For those of you keeping track, that's NC, VA, WV, KY, and now OH... and more different freeways than I can count....
The Princess has been very good so far, she even helped her Daddy get $$ today!
Next stop: La Crosse, WI, and if all goes well, dinner with my blogchild.
After that:
7/3 Rapid City, SD
7/4 Billings, MT
7/5 Spokane, WA and hoping to meet up with these folks
7/6 Medford, OR
7/7 Fresno, CA (my parent's house)
7/8 Pasadena, CA (to meet the potential landlords)
7/9 Fresno, CA.
You'll forgive me if I don't see you until the 10th or so 
The moving went really, really well. The movers were really nice and very efficient and careful. I can't say enough how nice they were. It remains to be seen how well I like them after we get the stuff.....
One last funny before I go...
I couldn't get a photo of the sign because there was a truck in the way, but there is a State Park in KY called Big Bone Lick.... and it's in Richwood.
Draw your own conclusions.....
