day 23

I spent some time visiting with my parents over breakfast before starting out on the last leg of my trip.  I have traveled between Mishawaka and Chicago so many times and I really wanted to get home, so I didn't really feel like taking the scenic route.  As I stopped on the toll road for my last fill up, I checked the traffic in Chicago.  Thankfully the morning rush was starting to clear up for my arrival.

As I pulled out of the last toll booth in Indiana, I could see the top of the Sears Tower popping out of the horizon.  After a few minutes of slow traffic near downtown, I was pulling into home.  I was expecting Seamus to be the happiest to see me, but it was Blanca who was jumping all over me.  Alex was pretty happy to see me, as well.

This was the first time I arrived somewhere and still had time to go out for a morning coffee and bagel (at least whatever the dogs didn't get).
