Eastern time zone, baby!

I suppose I'm a little overdue for a post, seeing as we have passed through Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana since we last spoke. A lot has happened. Connor has outlined most of the activities up to Chi-town so that's where I'll begin.

We had a blast in Chicago. Taking a couple days off in a row finally gave our bodies a chance to really recover. The first night we took it pretty easy, basically just tied a few on in the hotel room then walked around a little. Day two we welcomed two guests to the city. Beau and I were fortunate enough to get Jackie and Mia to come out and suffer through the locker room stench of the our hotel rooms. That night we went out to a couple bars in the northern part of town. On the third day Connor's mom flew out to spoil us yet again with her generosity. We went to a great pizza place...the name of which completely escapes me (something with a "G"). That night, after Momma Maloney went to bed, things got a little rowdy. Without divulging everything, there were several bars, at least one last call, Giant Jenga, and a blurry cab-ride. As for the night life, that was pretty much it.

The daytime attractions in Chicago were spectacular as well. The Museum of Contemporary Art, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Aquarium all received good reviews from the group. Also, as cheesy as it sounds, the Skydeck on the Sears Tower is also pretty fun.

Unfortunately I cannot show you any pictures of these attractions because I cannot get them on this computer. They will follow shortly.

So, right now we are in Bowling Green, Ohio and we expect that we will only have another 8 or so days left in the trip. Everything's going great, we're super psyched to get back. It looks like we are going to pick up Rt 250 here in Ohio today which not only takes us to Virginia, it takes us through Staunton and Charlottesville. I'll see you all soon, we're just around the bend.

Tall Man Out.
