The family took a mini-vacation this weekend. Mini as in less than 24 hours. The first stop was Charles Mound, the highest point in Illinois. The summit is 1.4 miles from the road. Despite a good effort from all, there was a 75% dropout rate on the trek. Since we were so close to Wisconsin, we popped over the border so the boys could check one more state off their list. The next stop was Dubuque, IA. It was lunch time, so we went to McDonald's. (I think the boys are secretly trying to eat at McDonald's in all 50 states.) After lunch we found a park and played for a little bit. The boys did a lot of climbing. This was Ben's first trip to Iowa. Bradley had visited once before. He needs to watch out. Ben is only one behind in states visited. He was three behind at the beginning of the year.
