Of course we couldn't leave without trying the ice cream. Delish! (Though we're still partial to good old Young's Dairy and those high fat Jerseys.) I think we'll probably stop again the next time we drive that way.

Chicago: A pit stop at Fair Oaks farm
Lest our trip turn us all into chic city big shots (ha ha), we stopped at--what else?--a farm. In this case, a ginormous dairy farm. I'm not going to spend my vacation describing the technological advances of the modern dairy. (Did you know they milk cows on a giant merry-go-round???) Suffice it to say that it was extremely interesting. (My friend Leah visited this farm a while ago. You can read about her visit.) It was fun. And it smelled nice. Really. There was so much "bio-security" that you do not once get a whiff of that fresh farm smell.
