Last Week Wednesday

A week ago we were on our way to Wisconsin!

This year we drove through Chicago, something I would never dream of doing, but THGGM became used to it when he worked there for about a year two years ago. I'm so glad he isn't doing that now.

Anyway...

Our first stop was Long Grove, IL. I love it there. It was Halloween, and we almost had the entire town to ourselves. Long Grove has many many quaint and beautiful shops which we looked around in. We bought nothing.


Such a pretty place! The weather was threatening rain, but we made it through without running in to any. I love covered bridges, by the way.

And, sculpture.
After we left Long Grove, we went to the Counio Museum in Vernon Hills. THGGM had toured this when he was living in the area. He knew I would love it, and he was right!

Pictures could not be taken inside the museum, but I did manage to get some in the gardens.

I'm not sure what is wrong with this statues gown, but certainly one would hope her mother would not let her leave home like that.

And, then it was on to Wisconsin, and the beautiful country road that takes us to my aunt and uncle's welcoming home.
