4 hours 58 minutes

That’s how long it would take me to get to Chicago.

Did I mention that I love Chicago?

Don’t get me wrong. I love Iowa (kind of) and I really love my family (definitely), but sometimes I want to just throw Grandma in the car and hit the road. What I would do with Grandma once I got to Chicago, that I don’t know. But it wouldn’t matter! I’d be in Chicago.

I know that Chicago and I have only the most fleeting of acquaintances, but we were meant to be together.
