Art's Old Stomping Grounds

After ending our camping trip with the small group, we headed into Wheaton to see the sights of Art's childhood.  We drove by his old house, school, where he went swimming, where he played, etc etc.  It was pretty cool to see all of that.

Then we headed over to Cantigny Park, paid $5 to park, to see the tanks.

I AM SO DEPRESSED THAT I DID NOT HAVE MY CAMERA!!!!
In our zeal to pack up the tent in the rain, I accidentally left the camera in the storage pocket INSIDE the TENT!  I missed great great great pictures.  The park is jam-packed with real, decommissioned , full-size tanks that you CAN CLIMB ON!  The kids, and Mommy, and DaU, got on and off so many of these cool tanks.  Then we looked at an exhibit on soldiers in Iraq - their downtime life.  We ate a picnic lunch in the park, then headed home.  It was a great day, and I had no pictures of it.  We'll have to go back sometime (it's about an hour away though) to get some pics.
