Road Trip 2009 - Day 4

Road Trip 2009 - Day 4
Originally uploaded by KillerVirgo

I am currently in the car en route Sandusky, OH heading to Cedar Point
Amusement Park. The trip so far has had it's share of delays.

The rental car we got from Hertz during the car ride from Dallas to
Memphis ended up breaking. Some screws fell out of a plastic panel
under the grill causing it to fall and scrap the pavement. We got the
car replaced at the Memphis Airport Hertz location which ate up an
hour or so of our time. We ended up getting the same vehicle, 2009
Chevy Malibu, but it was a high class version with leather seats,
Bluetooth, etc ...

We ended up in Chicago area around 11pm after a 9 hour drive on Day 2.
It rained on day 3 and we couldn't do much of anything outdoors so we
headed to the downtown area and walked the Michigan Avenue shops and
stores. Later that evening we headed to dinner in Chinatown, and
luckily the rain stopped by then. We had some authentic Chinese dishes
at a popluar szechaun restaurant, and finished the meal with a
pineappple/mango smoothies with Boba.

We left Chinatown and heading to Boystown, Chicago's gay strip. It was
oddily empty for 10pm on Saturday night. We walked for a short while
before leaving and heading back to the hotel for the evening.

This morning we headed to the Navy Pier and walked around and took
some pictures. It was very touristy, but the view of the Chicago
skyline were great. We stayed for about an hour before continuing to
Ohio.

Chicago was fun. Due to time constraints I didn't get some deep dish
pizza or see Oooopraahh WinFreey! Maybe another time.
