Sep 11th : Day 3 in Chicago, IL

Well...I have said it and there it was, the LAST day in Chicago before we headed back home. We decided to vacate the room and then see the one place we had missed out in our plan- Botanic gardens. It was incessantly raining and we took our chance to visit the place that I refused to strike off my “places to visit” list. After a lovely English breakfast of muffins, crackers and coffee at the Garden Café, we ventured into the wet and drippy gardens.

It was definitely worth the trouble. From fruit and vegetable garden to rose garden to japanese gardens, they had it all.

I only wish it wasn’t raining so badly that day and we would have spent more time there. But then, there was a gain because of this too. We got an early start back home and so could touch Milwaukee taking a deviation on our way back home. We hardly had 2 hours to explore this place before we headed back home. The comfort of home after 3 days of maddening excursions seemed very inviting. And so, after 6 hrs of flying at 80 miles an hr, we reached home at 1 am! That’s ok…can’t I do this once more soon:)
