It’s Monday. The heat & humidity returned over the weekend but it wasn’t as bad as last weekend. It was toasty but I still had a good weekend. A buddy and I went up to West Chicago on Saturday to check out the world’s only operating “Big Boy” steam locomotive. It was really cool to see this giant. I’ll feature some photos of the locomotive in my Tuesday update.

The girlfriend and I spent Sunday in the city checking out the new riverwalk. It was warm but we had a great time just walking along the Chicago river seeing all the watercraft and the amazing architecture along the river. We later met up with friends at Doc B’s restaurant for dinner. Had a great time and we’re already looking forward to our next trip up there.
