After departing from the the lake early this morning, we started our drive towards Chicago. A few minutes after leaving the lake, we all realized we needed to eat, so we stopped at a restaurant joined with the gas station we stopped at. When we all first walked in, our first instinct was to leave because of a curious odor and a run-down look, but after tasting a bite of their homemade cinnamon roll we knew we had to stay. We all ordered pancakes and such and continued on the road. We eventually rolled into our relatives house around 5:30. We were all so excited to see each other. We started off by taking a few pictures with all the aunts and uncles and cousins and eventually made our way to the backyard where we planned corn toss and played with toys and had a wonderful BBQ. Then the kids watched the movie Cars 2 while the adults chatted. We all eventually found our way to nice, comfy beds. We had a blast seeing everyone and spending time together. Tomorrow we plan on all meeting up again in the morning for breakfast in the city, and then touring around the city and looking at shops and museums and other fun touristy stuff.
