Our trip so far..we spent the night Wednesday night in
Indianapolis, IN @ The Marriott. Then traveled to Chicago, Ill..just for pizza and *
yummo*..it was well worth it! First we made a stop at a Gummy Bear Factory in Hobart, IN..that was a lot of fun! They have the freshest gummy bears..*
yummo*! Oh..inside the factory there was this chocolate fountain (see below)..it went all the way to the ceiling..it was making a bubbling sound..like it was hot..I felt like I was at *Willy
Wonka's Chocolate Factory*!

Everyone needs one of these in their kitchen!

We ended up in Chicago around 2pm..it took us an hour to find {Gino's East} because Chicago is crazy busy..we decided on this pizza restaurant by popular vote from the people of Chicago..Rich asked several people at traffic lights "So where do you go for good pizza?" Gino's was
everyone's choice..it is now our choice..I tell ya..the crap they serve you at Papa John's,
Domino's & Pizza Hut is a joke! Gino's rocks!! There pizza's are so thick..it takes 45 minutes to cook one.


After pizza..we drove to South Bend, IN just to see *{
Notre Dame University}* Rich was floating in the clouds..he wants to watch a game here before he dies..he says. It is a beautiful campus! What a
privilege to be able to attend school here.

Wooo hooo! Them college boys are cute..huh? Check this one out.. *wink*


Rich, Mattie &
Izabelle..standing in front of the gates to the field..that was all we could see of the field..but it was enough to make {him} smile.
We have to check out of the Hampton Inn today by noon..then we are on our way to Holland, MI then on to Traverse City, MI..oh that reminds me..I saw Lake Michigan yesterday while in Chicago..and talk about taking your breath away..I forgot how beautiful the water was..gosh..and all the sailboats..absolutely beautiful!
One more thing before I post this..only a couple of people will understand what I am about to describe:
I got up this morning and looked out the window of the hotel..(so my view is from high up, right)..and what do I see? I yelled it just like when I was a kid spending the night with my Aunt Cherry..MCDONALD'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just brought back a fun memory for me. *smile*

Your cousin, Jason lives just north of Indy in Fishers a couple of miles east of I-69.
Uncle Bill and I have been to the campus of Notre Dame. Derek was there not too long ago to give a presentation to an engineering class.
If you had time to look, you would find my signature along with Uncle Bill's and Maria's on the wall of Gino's!!
I'm so glad you are having a good vacation. Holland is a great place too.
