Last Friday after naps, the girls and I took the drive down to Crystal Lake to visit Dan at work and take the girls to Portillo's for some famous chocolate cake (oh, and dinner, too!) We've been talking about taking this trip since he started working there over 2 years ago, but we finally did it this past week.
The GPS said it would take about an hour.
The GPS lied.
It took almost TWO hours. And it sucked. A lot. It was a lot of in and out of little towns- very stop and go.
After dinner, Dan took the 2 bigger girls with him, and I followed him on a different route home. This ride was a bit faster (only an hour and 15 minutes!) but so, so boring. Through farm fields and more small towns. There truly is no "direct" route to Crystal Lake... but let me tell you. I have a newfound love and respect for my husband- who drives that awful ride every day, TWICE a day. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck.
On a happier note- Dan's office is really cool, his co-workers are super friendly, and the chocolate cake was delicious!
