Chicago to Springfield

Took about 6 hours!

Slightly better sleep! Today we awoke to a slightly hazy view of lake Michigan. However, it was a good relaxed morning enjoying the luxury of the Parlour suite.

We headed out to find the start of Route 66 sign.! Fortunately it's located very near a good bar we found yesterday. So loaded with wings and beer, headed up to the John Hancock Observatory for a panoramic view.

We headed onto the (free) Chicago zoo, before heading off for the beginning of what is to be, the Route 66 adventure!

Finally made it to Springfield at 0100. America is big.
