Today, the gang is breaking up - Patrick has to head home, The Lady of the Lake has a full day of travel and baseball and trick or treating (more on that later) and the Kellys are headed back to ChiTown. AHole decides a day of football and the sofa works for him so Sweetie and Kim head out to do a boat tour of Lake Geneva. Lake Geneva Boat Tours at the Riviera Pier offers a number of options for Lake Tours. We opt for the two (2) hour full lake tour on the Walworth - the Walworth is also a U.S. Mail Boat. We tried to sit up top on the open air deck but it was a little chilly so decided to do the cruise on the main, heated deck. This is a ... read more

Was it dark when we went to sleep??? It is a quiet morning - except for the Kellys who freakishly wake up and go walking all of the time...bacon for breakfast is always a beautiful ting. Patrick and Asshole had gone to Sorg's meats and sausages on Friday and picked up some of their best bacon and it's really good. We split up - the girls go shopping and get lunch and the gentlemen going to uh, drink. Steve Kelly played safety for the Indiana Hoosiers in the early 70s so we gotta watch them play their game against Illinois. Their new coach has not won a conference game in a season and a half, but hey, every dawg gets a bone sometime. And so they do-winning 35-21 and spoiling the Illinois homecoming. Nice job HOOSIERS! ... read more

So, after a night of laundry and relaxation we're off for mani/pedis :) Pause for laughter... We finally get done and head back to the condo to meet up with cousin Kim and her hubby Pat! We decide it's time to grab a bite and head to a local bar/restaurant - Chuck's. It's right on the water by the Abbey Marina. We ordered up a couple of cheeseburgers and a bowl of clam chowder and some drinks called Sweet Tarts - good choices all around. AHole wasn't that hungry but Sweetie didn't get one bite of the chowder because someone scarfed it down. We took a little driving tour of the Lake - truly gorgeous and we haven't even seen the big lake houses! A quick trip back to the condo to pick up more of ... read more

It's road time again, leaving St. Louis and headed to Wisconsin to visit family and friends. Wished we had planned a few more days in St. Louis and the Moonrise. This area is really cool! Great breakfast at the hotel this morning and didn't break the bank buying it either. I had shrimp and grits with poached eggs, yeah baby! Sweetie has an omelet with ham, tomatoes, spinach and gruyere cheese and it's quite tasty, too. We leave and drive to the Arch... yes, the Archway to the West. It's right in the heart of downtown and driving there we pass by Busch Stadium. Too bad the Cardinals aren't in the Fall Classic. Gotta get back to this town sometime, really enjoyed it. I-55 north headed towards Chicago with a quick stop in Springfield, Missouri, the ... read more
