We left Michigan on Saturday really early, so we could hit the Field Museum in Chicago later that day. We were making good time until we got a flat tire somewhere in the middle of Michigan about 3 hours into the trip. I'm pretty sure the spare tire has never been used on my minivan because Scott had to coax it, pry it and kick it REALLY HARD just to get it detached from the bottom of the van. We even dusted off the owner's manual to make sure we weren't doing something wrong. It did finally come off (looking a bit rusty), and we got it on the car. There must have been something on the road because we saw at least 4 others changing their tire alongside of the road.
We didn't make it the Field Museum that day because we didn't get to Chicago until about 3 p.m. Luckily, there was a tire store right next to the crappy hotel I had booked us in. At least the hotel had that going for it. We did head into Chicago that night to hit Giordano's pizza for some awesome pizza. One reason we really miss Chicago. Blake was not impressed. "It has sauce on top! Yuck!"
We got up early on Sunday and did finally get to see all the dinosaurs at the Field Museum, including the infamous Sue. And with that, Blake was indeed impressed.

You're right on, Blake. I also hate pizza with sauce on top. What's up with that?
