This morning was off to a rough start. But we got out all of Francie's ankle weights and walked it out. If you were in the Winnetka area this morning at 9 am and saw a fleet of women in what looked to be ankle monitors, it was us.
Ankle monitors are a great way to get toned legs and meet new friends
BTW to the woman who stopped Madelynne and Francie on the street and told them they should move off the road DESPITE there not being a SINGLE sidewalk in the greater lake forest area (on this street) you know what you did. Sorry not sorry. PS maybe you should stop polluting and park that car and get your ankle monitors on and take a HIKE like the rest of us. HMPH.
Next up on the docket was the HOME ALONE house. It was a little underwhelming. I like the shed section at Lowes more tbh. 
Apparently a crazy family lives here, which is awesome. We also passed by a house with a ghost story. Legend holds that a girl was murdered and buried on top of the house and now there is a bust there and if you look at it, you die. JOKING! You are just haunted for the rest of your life. Not going to lie, that type of companionship sounds comforting actually, so I went ahead and laser eyed this bust until I felt I couldn't evoke this haunting any more (I got hungry).
Then a little coffee coffee matcha matcha!
Afterwards we scooted on home, shoutout Gus for a lovely two minute phone call. We miss you <3. THEN WE PACKED UP AND GOT IT ROLLIN. Everyone warned us, "Iowa, the state of nothing," "Iowa, worst drive ever," "Iowa, y'all better be really patient and so talented at driving." Guess what, this drive was awesome! We tuned in a lil pop house and 2015 bangers and mosied on over to the Maquoketa Caves State Park. HOLY COOL.
There are more. Text break.
We came across a group of Girl Scouts scouting out a future hideout (We KNOW they up to no good) and p,aying Marco Polo, which was really cute. We wandered around and then realized we actually did not know how to escape. Lovely start to any horror movie, three girls go on a road trip and get lost in a cave and have to start becoming one with the forest. LUCKILY we have Juice Wrld's Goodbye and Good Riddance album downloaded, so being deserted could never be so bad (for me at least). We followed a pathway into a cave, which ended up being a tunnel.
We MADE IT
At one point, we turned around and noticed we were being FOLLOWED (by a little boy in a minecraft t-shirt who was just sitting there staring; we could def take him. I think...) We then came across a 6 foot bull snake.
Yea. FO REAL.
Anyways, we finally made it out. Im shocked honestly, started saying my goodbyes. Pssh. BUT YAY now we are en route to Waterloo.
This picture is best observed when listening to Waterloo from Mamma Mia (We didn't but you have to)
Vibes were high, especially when we found out our hotel was next to the John Deere Tractor and Engine Museum. Boy oh boy I have been wanting to go ever since I was a little girl. (It was closed). We went to get mexican (love middle America portions) and then went on a lovely walk instead.
Nothing else. That's it. The end. They should make a Dirty Dancing but it's at a ranch.
