Maxwell Street Days

This past weekend was the last one that everyone was free before the start of the school year.  Sarah originally thought that she had to dogsit for a friend, so we didn't make any plans, but then we come to find out that Sarah misunderstood and she only needed to watch their dog next Saturday.  So that left us with all day and nothing to do.  So we decided to head on down to Lake Geneva and check out Maxwell Street Days.

We had never been to Lake Geneva before so Kris and I thought it would be good to drive down and see what it was like there on a weekend.  We couldn't have asked for better weather, which meant that all the Illinois humps were up there for the day.  It was quite crowded and there wasn't a lot of parking in the downtown area.  We had to drive around for a bit, but I finally found a parking spot, though I still needed to pay a meter.  I was really hoping to find a free parking lot, but that would have meant walking at least a half a mile back to the shops and the lake.  

It was pretty much what we expected, except of course for all the rude, Illinois people. We walked around looking at all the little shops, and the girls each bought a bracelet, but that was about it.  And when we got back to the car this was parked next to us.

This was the first Delorean I have ever seen up close.  I don't know how anyone could drive one of them, because you are practically lying down inside of it.  All in all it was a relaxing day, though not quite how I would have wanted to spend our last free weekend of summer.
