We left Ann Arbor after breakfast and many hugs and went to the storage area of a nearby KOA to pick up the motor home. We loaded the car on our trailer and headed west on I 94 to Chicago and then north to Wisconsin. We finally arrived at our destination Burlington, WI. the home of Nestle Chocolate.
We arrived at an RV park and another resident told us to park where we wished as the owners had gone for a family medical emergency. After getting set up we unloaded the car and drove back into town to look it over and find the house that Chris and Traci will move into today. They had traveled yesterday from Atlanta to Louisville and should complete the rest of their trip by this afternoon.
After we looked at their house and talked to several neighborhood kids who wanted to know if we were moving in and were we really from Texas, we went looking for a Walmart and decided where we might eat dinner. We found a restaurant that was built in 1908 and is still in service today. The bar and other decorations were bought at the Chicago Worlds Fair in 1890's and have been kept in beautiful condition. Our waitress Joy was a delight and gave us much information about this beautifully kept building. It is built on the corner of two streets that form a triangle and sometimes is called the triangle building. The ceilings were tin and painted, some with original colors still. Food was superb. HW2 had rack of lamb and I had tenderloin steak. As our grands say, "The plating was beautiful too!" Satiated, we drove home and called Chris to warn him about the many toll roads and construction in the Chicago area. Bed awaited. Sleep well and happy travels.
