Back in the prairie……..
Chicago has maybe the prettiest skyline in the US. This view is from the street along “Museum Gallery,” where the aquarium and the Field Museum are located. The black building on the right is where Oprah lives, as nearly everyone in Chicago can tell you.
We spent a day at the Shedd Aquarium, checking out sharks, otters, moray eels and NEMO.

NEMO (or Marlin)
The kids were on their best behavior, even without naps, so everyone had a good time.
Here are another two kids it’s hard to leave behind!
This morning we were on the road at 5:30 and into Wisconsin by dawn. We’re happy to be back on the open road – where the cars are fewer and the tolls are nonexistent. In continuation of our Stimulus Package Tour, we found that Minnesota may actually own more orange cones than any state we’ve visited so far. (They must have been in hiding on our way East.) It’s actually cone warehousing, since, again, there was little evidence of any actual WORK being done.
There are fewer trucks on the road here in the prairie. Those that are on the highway stay in the right lane, unlike the trucks in Illinois and Wisconsin, who drive in any old lane they choose, without regard to cars.
