Not So Much Driving This Summer, Just Enjoying the Local Area
THURSDAY, AUGUST 8TH
We had been planning on boating, but I got tied up with the yard.
Drove to McHenry, Illinois, and did some shopping, then ate at Vickie's Place on the deck overlooking the Fox River. They have a fantastic selection of unique burgers (even better with a buy-one-get-one Chain Crawl coupon).
We went to Fox Hole in the old 1880s Riverside Hotel on the other side of the river for passport stamp and then I went to Vinyl Frontier (mom and pop record store) and bought a Roomful of Blues CD.
Then, we went to the Veterans Park and watched New Odyssey play at the gazebo. Liz's former classmate in Chicago, Michael Feddick, is a member of the band. They put on a fantastic show and were well-received. They're heading to Springfield the next two days to play at the state fair and then will be back Sunday to play at St. John's Parish Fest in Johnsburg.
