A Long Walk




Eric took the tree photo on our block today. It was a great day to walk up the lake, and so we did. We decided to go through the old Charles Dawes mansion in Evanston (the suburb just north of us). Dawes was vice president under Calvin Coolidge and even practiced law for a while in none other that Lincoln, NE where he became great friends with John Pershing. In this huge old house there is even a bedroom that was especially reserved for Pershing when he came through the Chicago area. Today, that bedroom and the one next to it are now a small underwear museum. Nope, you can't make this stuff up!

I hope my underwear is never in a museum...except for the awesome disposable undies they give you at the hospital after having a baby...yes, I really liked that stuff!
