Anthony's 16th birthday.....

 
We woke up in LaFayette Indiana this morning.  We had breakfast at the hotel then got in the car for a day of driving.  We drove up to the west side of Chicago and stopped at Guitar Center to let Anthony look at the banjos.  They didn't have any traditional banjos so he is just going to have to order one.  Then we went to Lou Malnatti's Pizza for Chicago style pizza.  It was really good!!!  The waitress overheard that it was Anthony's birthday and brought him ice cream.  After lunch we got in the van for 6 1/2 more hours of driving, up through Wisconsin and into Minnesota.  We tried to stop in Minneapolis at a place we saw on Diner, Drive-ins and Dives but we didn't find it.  I kept driving and David got on Google and found a family restaurant that turned out to be quite good.  Anthony David and Michael all got the french toast, it was highly recommended on Google.  I got veggie cheese steak soup, it was really good.  When we got to the hotel I made him Oreos with 16's on them.  Its kind of a tradition with us to have a cake with your age on it so I had to find some way to do that!!   Going to bed soon, got another LONG day of Driving tomorrow.  But after that we should start seeing cool things!!!!
