Day 8: Beloit, WI to Holly, MI

"One must be out-of-doors enough to get experience of wholesome reality, as a ballast to thought and sentiment.  Health requires this relaxation, this aimless life."   
Henry David Thoreau

380 miles

Wisconsin to Illinois to Indiana to Michigan (12 states so far)

Today was more about the destination than the journey!  We just plugged along on the major highways -- not a lot of sights to see or stops to make.  We drove through Chicago (which made me decide that, should I ever want to stay in Chicago, I will fly in and take a cab!).  Still, despite the traffic, accidents and congestion, we arrived at Liz and Martin's beautiful home.  So, we enjoyed some home cooking, visiting, and relaxing.  Tomorrow's a day off -- just hangin' with Lizzie and Martin (and Romeo, George, and Jack).
