Nah, Indiana hasn't reached a saturation point here yet Mz.

We'll welcome you with open arms

We dont' see that many MN plates, or MI plates in summer, probably because both of those states are beautiful themselves in summer.

But the IL plates are outta control.

Plus, like I said, they're just rude, rude people. The cars in the handicapped spots at the restaurants off the freeway, the ones without stickers or handicapped cards, will be IL plates.

The guy speeding past you doing 85 mph on a 65 mph freeway will more often than not be an IL plate.

The guy weaving in and out of traffic but not really getting anywhere faster than you will usually be an IL plate.

They just are some of the rudest folks I've ever run into. At least during vacation season.

Oh yeah, I used to love the Dells, but I haven't been there in years! One time when I was little they even let me drive a Duck through the water and I got a certificate that said "I drove a Duck!" And it depends what my hubby says, but if we do go to the Dells this summer, I'd love to stop by Milwaukee! But, the trip to Florida to see my grandparents comes first, so I don't know if we'll have enough money to go to the Dells too.

I will second that driving thought!

The last time I was in Chicago, my best friend was living downtown. I borrowed her car to go to my mom's gravesite and thought I might be buried right next to her!

The people in the fast lane were doing 85 and there were cops on the side of the road with radar. I was like if you are not pulling them over- what are you looking for???

I love visiting chicago and try to get down there a couple times a year. I HATE DRIVING DOWN THERE THO TOO! For $20 ea ($18 with the AAA card) amtrak takes you right to the heart of downtown from milwaukee. you exit union station, right next to the sears tower, a few blocks from millenium park, the art institute, hotels, restaurants.

there is something to be said tho about A LOT of chicagoans. at least the downtown types. they all walk around as if they own the whole world, even the bums. a sort of pompus arrogance compromised by the obvious hairplugs and drool down the chin....

riggs remember me and you went to that cubs game?? THat was like a 5 hr trip to get home!!! OH THE TRAFFIC!

Or used to it

Not to overgeneralize...people are people....there are good and bad everywhere

Maybe they are constipated...too much cheese...you never know

We'll see how day two goes. I'm notorious for getting out of the gate early then getting drilled.

My daughter's boyfriend is a Panther fan too. He told me I was going to be wrong on that one.

Yeah, it looks like Ray is 2 for 3!

Oooh! The panthers victory sets my family up for a fued:

 

The Bears vs the Panthers! Go Bears go- just don't tell the hubby!

 

Gosh now everyone I like wants the Bears to lose

Oh, trust me there is no chance of that NOT happening!

With the hubby I can hold back no punches- no love lost anyway!
