Well, today my girlfriend and i ventured to Chicago, Illinois (we live in a suburb called Algonquin). We took the train in, driving 8 miles each way to the station. We barely made it there on time for the 8:08 train. We arrived in Chicago around 9:30 and spent until 7:00 in the evening there. We took the 7:30 train back- just barely catching it again. The day was awesome!! We walked EVERYWHERE. Literally, no taxi's were used because of the outragous price. We ended up walking over 15 miles! Needless to say, i am exhausted and ready to go to sleep! We did not get home until 9:00 and i am ready for bed now. Perhaps tomorrow i will go into detail on our trip. The trip cost $20 for each of us, not too bad for an entire day of fun! I would say we saved a lot of money walking- too bad i can't included that in my statistics, but if i did- we would have saved $3 on gas today by walking, and the view was much better on foot. That's all i got tonight, goodnight!
Total summer mileage: 80.1 miles
Money saved on gas (20 mpg at $3.99 per gallon): $15.98
