Let's see...where was I....oh yeah! We were about to cross the Mississippi. Did I mention the restrooms in Iowa have internet? Illinois was nice and sunny! We passed by Daddy's old office in Naperville, paid our tolls, and ran into some big city traffic. We stopped in Skokie on Dempster for some gas, and finally parked on Orrington, in front of the old NU Apartments. We checked into the Hilton, and then headed over to the beach south of campus. After Ate's photo shoot and finding some ladybugs, we passed by a concert on south campus and walked north, stopping before we hit the Bahai Temple. It was cool seeing so many lightning bugs! We also got run over by a stampede of summer campers who were staying in the north quad. Daddy carried me on his shoulders down Sheridan, and finally we made it to Burger King where we picked up our Eclipse vampire wristbands that change color if you venture into the sunlight. After a splendid free breakfast the next morning, we carried our stuff a few blocks thru downtown Evanston to get to the free parking, then visited St. Mary's and the adjacent flower garden. Turning south, we entered sweet home Chicago, passing Loyola and driving down Lake Shore Drive, which reminds Mommy of Luneta. Be back soon...
