We decided to drive all night so the kids would sleep most of the way. We left the house around 11 pm and stopped to fill up with gas. My hubby drove the whole way while everyone else napped. We arrived in Chicago around six am.

Our next goal was to find a motel room. We drove, called and drove and called more motels. The kids wanted a swimming pool and we wanted something affordable. Everything downtown was way to expensive so we tried to find something on the outskirts, all while staying out of the south side. We finally got frustrated and decided to go back into Indiana. On the way back we stopped by
The American Girl Place and
Lego Store. (Click to see about each place).
We finally found a motel in Indiana with a pool. We ate supper at Golden Corral (one of our favorite places). Then we headed to the room to let the kids swim.

After swimming everyone got showers & in the bed. It had been a long day for everyone, but especially my hubby. He was a GREAT sport. He had been awake almost 40 hours, but he made every step we made today & never complained one time. I <3 him!!!
