When Chris and I were planning this trip due to time constraints we decided to only spend 1 night in Chicago…so we had to fit as much as we could into a short period of time, here goes…. A big Fountain, a massive lake, Blues music festival,two parks, a shiny giant bean, Chicago style hotdogs…don’t ask for ketchup! Deep dish pizza, a really tall tower and we did look down, break dancing, a homeless man, lots and lots stunning architecture,…
Have had this map of America for a while (click the picture for a better view), finally managed to get it up on the wall and highlight all the places we are stopping. It doesn’t look to bad like this!! Our stops are: Chicago (IL) Springfield (IL) St Louis (MO) Springfield (MO) Oklahoma City (OK) Amarillo (TX) Santa Fe (NM) Gallup (NM) Flagstaff (AZ) The Grand Canyon (AZ) Kingman (AZ) Rialto (CA) Santa Monica (CA)
After much deliberation, we have settled on the prefect camera for the trip, something small, but with a large zoom, and a viewfinder, so we can see what we are doing in the sun! The Road awaits us, expect lots of pictures!
