Yesterday, though chilly, was a great day for a drive, so when Dave and I were trying to decide what to do for our day of fun, we settled on pointing our car north and going however far we felt like going.
Our Sunday drive began with a stop at Sonic for their happy hour deal. I scored a small vanilla Coke for 50 cents and some yummy mozzarella sticks. After we finished our afternoon snack, we headed north, driving through towns I'd heard of but never been to as a proud southwest suburbanite. As we drove farther and farther, we wondered if we'd make it to Wisconsin. Sure enough, we hit the state line, and Dave entered his sixth state. We headed west toward Lake Geneva but missed most of it when a poorly marked street forced us to turn right--and right out of town. Oops!
That "mistake," however, led us to Piggly Wiggly, a grocery store that holds fond memories of grocery shopping while on vacation in Kentucky. The northern version of the store wasn't quite the same, but it was still fun to pick up some food and avoid paying tax on the snacks!
As the sun began to fall, we headed home, taking a new route and discovering new parts of northern Illinois. Our GPS-free drive was an adventure and a great way to relax on a Sunday afternoon.

So, when the weather warms up, head southeast to Virginia and visit me! :)
