Wisconsin/Illinois Trip

At the end of July, Matt had a training to be an AP mentor that was being held just outside Chicago. We decided to make it our second family vacation of the summer! Our first night was spent in Madison, WI where we explored the campus of UW Madison a bit and visited their free zoo before heading to Chicago on day two. Our hotel was near O'Hare Airport so we didn't have to drive into the city which was nice! Eloise and I ventured in on the train and had a great afternoon in Millennium Park including Shake Shack for lunch, mmmm! When Matt's training was over we headed back towards home stopping in Freeport, IL to check out the monument commemorating the second Lincoln Douglas debate and staying overnight in Galena IL. This trip added states six and seven to the places Eloise has visited.

Here are some photos of our trip!
