Day 50 Glenview, IL to Chicago, IL Woot arrival:)

So today we woke up at like 7am and we racked our bikes and rode about 12 miles closer to the city. We did this because the traffic and city riding would have been so bad and have taken so long that the crew would not have been able to keep up with the turns.

We unracked at a target and got ready for our arrival.  This target was neat as it's shopping cart's wheels locked up if they were taken outside the parking lot. I thought that was pretty neat. So after a little bit we headed out towards the Victor C. Newmann center where we had an arrival and hung out with the clients there for a few hours. My mother, grandmother, and sister came out to visit and welcome us when we arrived at the center. They hung out for a little bit and then took off to go get lunch. We were fed lunch which was awesome sandwiches and then after that we were taken to millennium park and we were dropped off to explore the city.

We walked around millennium park for a bit and then headed off towards the John Hancock building. On the way we stopped at the Garmin store the Nike store and the Apple store. We arrived to the Hancock center and went up to the signature lounge.  The Under 21ers werent allowed in so we took pictures for them and we had some non alcoholic beverages so we werent freeloading but it did save us about 8 bucks and we got a drink out of it.

After that we headed out towards our dinner at Club Lago and on the way we stopped at the hershey's store and as we passed by Holy Name Cathedral we decided to stop in and look around.  We then had dinner sponsored by a Pi Alpha and it was pasta and such and was really good.

After dinner we hopped in the vans and headed to our lodging which was Eaglewood Resort and Spa in Itasca. It was sponsored by an anonymous donor and it was a pretty nice place.

We got settled and I just relaxed and then headed to bed



Peace, Love, and Michigans
