Weird weather all day -- from gorgeous and sunny to thunderstorms and back to sunny -- even one of those periods where it's raining in full sunshine. Anyway, I made it.
I had sent a box of stuff ahead and I am so used to chasing the box, the hotel denying they got it, searching, searching -- and today when I gave my name at the front desk, they told me that the box arrived and it's already in my room which was nice.
Here are some pictures:

I slept like a log; didn't open my eyes until 9 am and felt I should hurry. Was in the car by 10, and forgot that I gain an hour from Eastern to Central time. |

Stopped for gas... you can see my car pass in the lower left already in place and ready. |

Around Chicago, it is constant tolls. |

Here's Chicago's skyline. I believe the tallest building is the Sears Tower. |

Getting close -- first sign for Wisconsin. |

Checked into the hotel, got my credentials, called Stancie who came out and talked for a while. She and Mac have been here since Wednesday. |

Then it was time for a very late lunch/early dinner... headed to Culver's. This flavor of the day sounded good... it would have been perfect if it were cashews instead of pecans so I skipped it. |

So I headed to the other one and this flavor didn't appeal to me so I just went with plain vanilla. |

I noted at the drive thru that you can also order pints -- they do have caramel cashew... I think that would be my first choice, followed by Peanut Butter Cup.
tomorrow: work begins |
