CONNECTICUT TO CHICAGO
Marriott Courtyard Bistro
It took us about twelve hours by car to reach Mishawaka, Indiana. The Marriott Courtyard there was our overnight stop. We were impressed with the cleanliness, comfort and hospitality of the Marriott, the hosts and Gjorgy Baumann, Manager, charming, I might add. We were told they will be renovating soon and will have new everything. I thought the place was pretty terrific already. They even had a Bistro for light dining and breakfast. But our favorite to dine is Papa Vinno’s, an Italian foodery, as good as any in New York City, right across the street. After a delightful breakfast at the Bistro, Chicago was less than two hours from Mishawaka.

Tom had a business conference to attend for the week. I used the time to work on my writing. We visited family once. When Tom was done with his business we took the time to go to Millennium Park. That was the highlight of our trip. Here are some of the photos.
