Family Time in Chicago Area

(Joliet, IL) Hi 77 Lo 56 -- Last evening after the day's blog was completed we received a visit from Phyllis and Rick, a couple of my chatting friends that we last met about a year ago. They live not far from here. They stayed only a short time, but we made plans to go out to dinner together when we return here in a week. Thanks for stopping by guys, it was nice seeing you again.

We got an early start to go to our son's house today. He lives in the suburbs of Chicago, about 40 minutes from our campground. (We found out that car trips in Chicago are measured by time rather than distance.) It was a great visit and we enjoyed catching up with our goings on over the summer. I saw Rick and Laura in May when my mom and I flew to St. Louis to my sister's, but Jim didn't go.

Jim and Rick talked photography all day. It's something they have in common, and Rick has been learning new lighting techniques that he was anxious to show his dad. We both had fun being "models" while he tried different lighting effects on us.

Rick got his grill going and we had dinner of "chick-ke-bobs" and steak.


Later we went for ice cream........you guessed it, Culver's. It's right down the street from their house. (How come we always end up near a Culver's? Hmmmm...)

We stayed till almost dark then came back to the park.  We leave for the Elkhart, IN area tomorrow morning. Anyone in the area?
