Midwest Vacation: #3

We met for breakfast on Saturday in the fanciest McDonald's I've ever seen. It's the flagship restaurant near Hamburger U. It had a McCafe so I got hot chocolate. It was delicious. We sat around the center elevated oval table and decided to split into two groups for the morning activities and meet up for lunch at Ann Sather. I went with the group going to the Frank Lloyd Wright home and studio while some others went to the Lincoln Zoo. We had to wait about a half hour for our guided tour so we spent some time exploring the gift shop.

The tour was fun, the tour guide was irreverent and both the house and studio were very interesting. We weren't allowed to take photos inside so I had to do with shots outside and of items in the shop.





Ann Sather specializes in Swedish food but I ordered the Southern Decadence: poached eggs, biscuits and gravy. It was superb but, when I tasted Zander's Swedish pancakes, I wished I had ordered those instead. I do love a thin, eggy pancake. I'm glad I wasn't sitting too close to the three people who ordered Reubens. I feel a little sick when I smell sauerkraut.

After a brief stop at Trader Joe's, I was off to Michigan with Joanna and the kids while Sallie and John took her car. The visit in Chicago was highly successful. I'm so glad we were able to get together even for a brief time.
