Wok N Roll with us...Bob and Teri Along with Atlas and Kalani: Chicago, IL 8/16/14

We drove into Chicago from Belvidere, IL to attend the 55th Annual Chicago Air and Water show. Taking the beast (our truck) into the city and trying to find a place to park her was very, very challenging to say the least. Persistence paid off, however, and we finally found a place that would keep her for the day (even if it was $40).

The show was along the shores of lake Michigan. We brought our portable chairs and found a nice spot on the grass to take in the show which lasted from 10 AM - 3 PM. Being at an air show, all the locations to set up for the day were great, as was our weather - sunny, but not too hot.

The day seemed to speed by. Lots of talent, that was impressive. When the Osprey came out, all of the crowd perked up. When the F-22 came, we thought that the crowd interest could never be beat. But then came the Blue Angels. The crowd was so excited as was Teri as she has not seen them perform since she was a kid. (guess that is why they got more picture coverage on this blog.)

We had a great day, are up for a few days of down time (which actually means work-cleaning, waxing etc). But all is good here in Illinois. Right now, we plan to depart on 8/26/14.
