Also, we saw the musical Wicked. And it was fantastic. Probably the best musical I have ever saw.

On the way home, I noticed an OTB off of I94, is this the OTB where the Chicago people go to?

Again, thanks so much for the advice. It truly was a great weekend.

If I ever get around to it, 'Wicked' is a book I'd like to read.

Wicked was awesome. However, I really did not like the ending. But I won't say anything since you want to read the book.

Oh now that is amazing. Our hotel was packed with Packers fans. And boy, they were partying all night. We made it to 2am and these people were still going strong. Only one thing made me mad on the trip and that was our Hotel (Sheraton Towers) didnt offer free internet. You had to pay $11.99 per 24 hour period. Even Super 8's offer free internet.

You stayed downtown right? If so, you were near the State Street OTB

Arlington is in the NW Burbs

We stayed on Congress. But his place was like 25-30 minutes from downtown.

State St. OTB is on Lake/State, right next to Chicago Theatre ......

AJ...Arlington has a sign on 94 near Willow Road, which makes no sense because it is a pain in the ass to get from willow road to Arlington, when I worked in Vernon Hills I would always seen the friggin sign and think why it was there
