Well, after specifically saying that I had never been to Chicago, never visited there, and never shared any wonderful adventures there, now I have been there several times. But not too many!

We learned about lovely Hendricks County, Indiana at a meeting for travel professionals so, when our 40th anniversary rolled around, it was easy to decide to take a few nights in this charming area.
