  Greetings from ChiTown...aka Chicago Hi, it's Corp & Tammy again...this time road tripping in Wisconsin and Illinois! Our trip began on August 11 when we set out for Barrington, IL to surprise our friend Dan at his 50th birthday party.  Our first stop was LaCrosse, WI.  We spent the night at Corp's cousin Ken and Jay's beautiful Bentley-Wheeler B&B.  They were wonderful hosts as usual, and we had a great time together with lots of laughs. Although I forgot to take group pictures, here's one of their beautiful house.   Bentley- Wheeler B&B is a beautiful Queen Anne style historic house in LaCrosse, WI. The next day, we headed to Barrington for Dan's 50th birthday party. It was great to see our friend Jacie and catch up with the whole Beniek family. Corp giving Dan a birthday hug!

Chapter 24 - Spending Time in the Big Apple - New York City - Week 2

  Hi, it's Corp & Tammy again...this time sharing the second week of our 2-week adventure in New York City! On July 12, we moved from Chelsea to the Lower East Side.  We stayed at the Citizen M Bowery hotel.   What an experience!  Everything in the room (lights and TV) were run by an IPad, which was very weird to us.  Each night we had different color lights for the bathroom night light.  The red lights made it look like the intro to a horror film.  The room was 151 sq. ft. in size.  Smaller than a cruise ship room. The co-working space was a neat design feature in the lobby. Here I am one morning working in the co-working space.  It was hard for me to concentrate with so many people around.  I preferred working in our room, but happy I tried it. Great view from our hotel room. We tried gelato the first time....Ferreo Roche flavor.   Corp loved the Ferrero Roche flavor.....chocolate and hazelnut deliciousness! We we...
