Chicago and Badlands
Chicago Technically my first stop of the trip was Indianapolis, but my first real stop was back to Algonquin, IL to see my parents and friends back there. I was so excited to show my parents the trailer but I got home too late so we waited until my dad got home from work so they could both see it at the same time. They both loved it and were surprised by how easy it was to open and set up. Even more amazed at how much space there actually is inside the trailer. We spent the rest of the day running errands to prepare for the trip including buying groceries, getting some final items for the trailer, and getting my hair cut (gotta look good for the trip). I also spent some time looking through beanie babies, stuffed animals, and some other childhood toys so my parents can donate them. I definitely didn't do enough justice to the pile and it will be there for me at Christmas. We finished with a home cooked meal which is always better when someone else cooks for you (Thanks dad!). ...
