Parking Garage in Rosemont looking at ORD

I decided to break this one and the previous entry into two separate entries.  Partially because we spent time here on what is technically the next day.  And partially because it was a pretty good experience on its own, deserving of its own entry.

The parking lot in Rosemont looks across the Tri-State Tollway right at O'Hare International Airport (ORD).  If you meander up to the top level (that's 7) you can watch planes land right over your head.  It was pretty late at night, so we only saw one (and right as we were getting there, so we couldn't snap a pic).  But it sets up a pretty nice atmosphere.

We had parked on level 6 and took the elevator up to 7

That's ORD (across the Tri-State)

Maxwell's Hot Dogs - West Dundee

Mmmm, another hot dog.  They're good.  Maxwell's is named after the Maxwell Street Market.  Seeing this is a travel blog and not a history blog, I'll just link you to the Wikipedia page - in case you're interested. (on another note, given the right circumstances I will delve into history on this blog - but seeing I was not actually at Maxwell St., but rather just a place named after it... well, you get it)

Do you see the moon?

Jacobs High School - Algonquin, IL

So, we went to see a musical at this high school.  A musical based on a movie I had just seen earlier this month - Beauty and the Beast!  I was all stoked for the performance.  As the overture was playing, and the mood was being set, all of a sudden all the fire alarms went off and we were all evacuated from the auditorium and the school itself.  To keep me safe, my owner put me back in the car... so I missed the musical, because I sat in the car, all alone, for the next 2 hours.  I could see the moon though, and it looked nice.
