At the end of February we took a road trip across country to Illinois to attend Steve’s Grandfathers funeral. Steve’s Brother Mike and his wife Caroline drove with us and we had a great time during the 16 hr. drive (one way). Caroline and I sat in the back and enjoyed our food and “Chick Flicks” while Steve and Mike sat up front and reminisced about the “good ol days”. Caroline and I learned a lot about their childhood and what kind of kids/brothers they really were. The funeral was nice and the time with Steve’s relatives was a lot of fun. We met distant relatives that Steve had never even met before. The town was a very small farming town outside of Chicago and everyone seemed to be related somehow. The name Wehrmann was posted everywhere! After the funeral the 4 of us decided to spend a day up in the heart of Chicago. We actually ended up seeing much more of Chicago then we ever expected to. We ended up driving through parts of Harlem, China Town, Greek Town and Little Italy. We spent the day at the famous Planetarium and Aquarium on Lake Michigan and also walked around the downtown area amongst the busy crowds. We went to the top of the Sears tower and then a friend of Caroline's picked us up and took us to a perfect little Italian restaurant in Little Italy. It was such a fun time filled with great experiences that make me laugh even now when I think about it. One helpful hint: Never try to drive a large F150 in downtown Chicago! IT will not fit!
