With the trip odometer at 6,566 miles, we pulled out of Des Moines, and continued with our journey on I-80 for Chicago. Bill wanted to relive his college days by taking us to Steak and Shake for lunch in DeKalb, Il, home of Northern Illinois University. We pulled onto South Michigan Avenue around 2:30pm, and valeted the car at the Hilton Chicago, one of our favorite grand old hotels in our hometown. They also welcome pets. After we settled into our very comfortable rooms on the 22nd floor, we took a four mile walk along the lakefront to Navy Pier and back. When given the option for dinner with grown-ups, or doing their own thing, the teens opted to go to Gino's on Superior Street while we went to The Gage to meet family. The grown ups went to Kitty O'Shea's for a night cap in the hotel, and Billy and Jack stopped in to say hello to Nancy and Terry, Billy's aunt and uncle, before calling it a day. It's good to be home:)
