I arrived at the Chicago Botanic Garden at around 9am. It was another beautiful day! These gardens are so huge and there are so many carefully planted gardens that a surprise waits you around every corner.

By the time the clock showed noon, my feet were really dragging and I was walking past more flowers than I was photographing. The sun had been shining down on me for three hours and I had walked much of the massive grounds of the garden. It was time to move on and the day's drive to the hotel, a Fairfield Inn in Elizabethtown, KY turned into over seven hours with road closures and heavy traffic in Indianapolis. The hotel was one of the best Marriott brand hotels in which I have stayed in recent times. The internet was blazing fast. The hotel was very well maintained and clean and the staff quite friendly. It was a nice place to rest my head and sort through photos.
