We travelled approximately 280 miles today. From Milwaukee to Springfield, Illinois. No we don't think this is where the Simpsons live. We had plenty of stops on the way so it didn't seem too bad but I did spend the afternoon travelling in the truck, so nice to be out of the wind. We drove back down to Chicago and saw the city skyline but unfortunately Mrs Pakes didn't have the camera so we didn't get a shot as we went by. We drove past the spaceman who is massive.
We then went and had dinner at Pete's diner which was lovely, and then on down past an original garage which has been renovated.
Our last stop on the way was a small town called Atlanta which has some original buildings and a man holding a hotdog.
We got to our hotel just after 7 o'clock and had a quick wash before going to the barbecue cafe for ribs and chips, very tasty. Then back to the hotel and to bed ready for the early start again tomorrow.

Gosh, 280 miles in one day is good going! Think you earned those ribs and chips.
