We are back at home!
We started the longest, but last, leg of our trip early this morning. We were on the road at 9am EDT. We stopped for iced coffee at Burger King this time and I have to admit that Margie was right! Their iced coffee is the best. Better than McDonalds and even better than Tim Horton's that was up to this point my favorite - Starbucks is in a category of their own; I am not going to compare their coffee with fast food chains, it will not be fair...
We reached Chicago at around 11:30am CDT and literally zoomed through it at no less than 50 mph. We were all very impressed as this is the fastest that we have traveled trough Chicago.
We were actually caught a bit by surprise as we were planning to stop before going through Chicago, grab lunch, and have the kids watching movies as we were driving through Chicago. It ended up that we did not need to worry about delays. We stopped at the Oasis outside Chicago and got lunch to go.
We were at home at 2:30pm. Margie started laundry right away and after a couple of loads were done we drove back to the airport to return the rental car. As I turned it in, the receipt registered that we drove 2,567 miles. Margie drove all of them - I just drove the car to return it to the airport.
We are all tired, but happy to be home. I am still off for a couple of weeks and looking forward to spending some time with our family at home and catch up on some house projects that have been postponed for ever.
And this concludes the Tsiolis's family Canada vacation 2008!
