Once out of Indiana, we went to Chicago Illinois and stayed the night there. We ordered deep dish pizza that night (after being let into the restaurant after around 7 minutes of waiting -- haha crowd who was and is still waiting :P) and whoops! They messed up our order, and now we have two mediums and a small instead of the other way around. Not so bad (seeing as they charged us for what we'd ordered) except that these things are HUGE!!! The girls of the family each had half a slice (while Dad piled in 3) and now we have pizza to last forever (as in the next two weeks :P) The next morning, we got up, went swimming, and toured chicago for two hours (in other words,walked to the waterfront, along the waterfront, to the cool pier with rides aand stuff, and then left...without even going on one!)I wish I'd had more time there, but oh well. Onto Iowa... Wow. Iowa is beautiful. Rolling hills of corn as far as the eye could see... with houses so few and far between, i couldn't imagine living there. Soooo different than connecticut. After several hours of that, we got to Nebraska. In the morning, when we went to explore Omaha, we were struck with the pure emptiness of the place. Seriously, in the first half hour I saw 2 bikers and 4 cars. In the city! On a holiday!! I stood in the middle of the wide streets just to take pictures of the emptiness... it was totally setting for a zombie movie... :O. After wandering around and stopping in the visitors center, we made our way to the Old Market, where the streets were brick, and the shops had little walkways with flowers and vines and it was nice... Unfortunately, only two shops were open (a metal shop wehre we got a lizard named Nebra (or as I say 'Nebby'), a pottery shop, and then this bakery/restaurant nearby was open. I'll say more later, gotta go...
