tntmo 882 Posted August 9, 2018 After spending time with family, I am now doing the friends tour. Spent a day in the Minneapolis area, then down to Omaha for a day and now I have two friends in Waterloo, Iowa. I’m meeting my older brother in Clinton, Iowa this weekend to rehab our sisters place. I’m still moving! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tntmo 882 Posted August 10, 2018 Special thanks to Mr Jaja for mentioning the motorcycle museum in Anamosa, Iowa. Otherwise I wouldn’t have known about it! Today I went to the John Deere museum in Waterloo, Field of Dreams in Dyersville and the above mentioned motorcycle museum. Great day in Iowa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tntmo 882 Posted August 15, 2018 Brewery is closed on Tuesday, darn! I did the Harley Davidson museum instead and it was pretty cool. I’m heading back through Milwaukee on Friday so will do the Pabst brewery on my way to Chicago. Any input on things to see in Chicago? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fly her out and take her to brunch in the Trump Tower. Then let her shop the miracle mile. Seriously. She'll never forget it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rexx Riot 3 Posted August 15, 2018 Soldier Field is always a good stop, as is Navy Pier but you been to Santa Monica pier you know what to expect so... Lou Malnati's for real Chi-town deep dish, and if you're jonesing for a hot beef sandwich you'll want to hit up a Portillo's! In terms of ACTUAL sites etc I got nothin'. I mean....I hear there's a bigass lake there but that's about it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tntmo 882 Posted August 15, 2018 I heard this was Kug’s hometown, so I made sure he had a presence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not ready to accept that yet though. Chicago is an amazing town. I'm not kidding about the Trump Tower though. The brunch in his restaurant called "Sixteen" is as good as it gets, and the view it comes with is one of the better in Chicago. I'm probably not completely unbiased though as I worked with them a few times producing Icelandic foods and drinks for some clients. Call Amex before you go and ask them to increase your credit limit. And for gawdsakes, don't let her stuff a bunch of handmade eclairs in her purse and your pockets. That's just tacky.

tntmo 882 Posted August 22, 2018 The lady came out to Chicago for a few days, we played tourist. Then I rode out to New Jersey to see my brother. Now I have seen three oceans on this trip! Had a few fun roads on the way and visited Puxutawney Phil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
