Our Kind of Town

“Do not be angry with the rain; it simply does not know how to fall upwards.” ― Vladimir Nabokov

The thunderstorms and rain when we arrived in Chicago couldn't dampen our spirits. It is lowering for a Packers fan to admit, but Chicago is truly awesome. We had to drag Scott out of every exhibit at the Adler planetarium, and the Field Museum was far too epic to squeeze into the few short hours we had available.

The beautiful layout of the museums along Lake Shore Drive was picturesque even in rain, but by the time we got out of the museums, we got to catch the skyline in sunlight, too.

Even better? After getting slightly lost, we headed back out and are now in Wisconsin, which was my home for many years. It still feels like home. We are debating a hotel because it took us too long to get out of Chicago and our campground has rain predicted again, but we will decide after we get tired. Right now, we are revved.
