Day 6 – Minnesota to Wisconsin to Illinois

This morning, after breakfast, we went to visit the Jolly Green Giant (Ho Ho Ho…).  He was standing only a short distance from our hotel.  There was a tiny little museum (fancy shed) next to him with Green Giant paraphernalia, including Little Green Sprout dolls.


We drove a few hours to the Mississippi River and stopped at a park close by.  The kids rode their bikes and hung out at the park while Dave and I hopped on our bikes.  We rode across the Mississippi and into Wisconsin and back again.


After lunch we drove through Wisconsin and into Illinois, headed for Chicago. 
After a very late dinner, we walked around downtown Chicago across the river, admiring the sights and architecture.  We noticed a little bit of Blackhawks enthusiasm.
