It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.
Who created the highway system in Chicago? I mean, really? Lower whacker? Who the hell thought that up? I am sure it was a great idea in the long run but my god, Nut, Bear and I got so fucking lost because we didn’t realize that the streets are above and below.
An expressway is in a good idea, especially in a big city, but it was so annoying that we couldn’t figure out that on the map, they don’t frigging delineate the fact that the there is an express way maze below!!
ARRRUGH!!!!
Ok, but I do have to say that it was fun turning down the street and I began to hum the whole “Peter Gunn” theme in my head. All right, I hummed it out loud to make the Bear laugh. He needed to laugh. Really, he did. And so he did.
Another interesting thing was that at Grand Park (or is it grant?) lollapalooza was going on so we were treated to a lovely and beautiful concert of…
…The red hot chili peppers.
Yes. THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS!!!!
It was so fucking cool.
Nut is fussing and so I will never seem to be able to tell you the whole story of the trip in one sitting. Stay tuned, lots of happy and un-fucking-believable stories from the evil in-laws. Let’s put it this way. I wanted to punch out my father in law so badly I went into the bathroom and punched the wall so hard my hand is bruised.
Yes. Fun stories to follow.

It is Grant Park. I'm glad that you enjoyed the park and concert, though. Chicago has some great summer events.
Your father-in-law, on the other hand, deserves to not enjoy anything. I hope your hand will be OK.
As my mentor once said, "Families fuck you up."
When ever I travel in the northeast, I always get lost, just not use to the roads. My brain is wired for only our local street design. It amazes me road systems differ so in the same country.
thanks for the correction. I thought it was grant park as well but with my hearing...
