Day 4(6/16) - Chicago, Drive to Minneapolis

Today started with Mom and I going for a run at Northwestern University, home of the Wildcats. We ran about four miles before returning to the hotel. We packed up and left Chicago around 10:30 (11:30 ET) and started driving to Minneapolis, Minnesota, stop #3. After about 2 ½ hours we stopped in Madison, Wisconsin for lunch at a restaurant called Graze. We tried fried cheese curds for the first time. They were surprisingly good. We arrived in Minneapolis at about 6:45 (7:45 ET) and went to the room to unpack and get ready for dinner at Hazelwood Food & Drink. After that we returned home and swam in the indoor hotel pool before going to bed.
