Week #26 - LIFE'S Simple pleasures - day adventures
Okay, why that little ditty came to mind? I have no idea sometimes where I pull stuff from. I know that it flows off my tongue so easy and I have been saying it for more than 40 years.... chicken in the car..... Chicago. Clickity clack.....
Going on a day adventure outside your own city is something fun to do! It makes you appreciate where you come from and all that there is out there beyond your own city limits.
Downtown Chicago is just a 'short' 1-1/2 hour train ride from our northwest suburban town. We have lived here for over 7 years and make at least one yearly trek to the big city.
Growing up in Wisconsin (a bit of trivia.... we are almost equal distance to downtown Chicago from my home town and from the city we live in now) As a young person, I was aware of the lure and excitement of the Windy City, the 2nd City, Chi-town or Chicagoland, but never had much of a desire to crossover the cheddar curtain (Wisconsin/Illinois state line) and see what the big city had to offer me.
Come along with me this week, as I highlight our summer day adventure to the big city. I enjoy being a small town girl and sharing adventures (big or small) with my hubby.
There is a Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/chickeninthecar) page and a book ( http://www.amazon.com/Chicken-Car-Wont-Go-Chicagoland/dp/0984639810 ) with the title... Chicken in the Car and the car won't go, what does it spell? Chicago...one of those fun rhymes for simpler times and jumping rope on the front sidewalk!
