Travel week 14

2008 travel season comes to end on last weekend. This season was great and travel budget was very tight because of high gas price. To compensate high gas price, there was no long trips and cruise control was set at 65 MPH most of time. I think if we follow small things like cruise set, tire pressure etc, that would make lot of difference.

14 week : Starved Rock State Park
70 miles from Naperville, a must see place. Greener, Greener and Greener. There are several trails to see park overview. The one we choose was Lovers Leap, 0.7 miles trail. It was great and we can see Illinois River and Starved Rock from this view. The 45 mins boat ride also great but not highly recommended. A small museum, cafeteria also there.






13 Week : Pool Party, Hang over - No travel

12 Week : Chicago Air and water show, but no parking, watched from distance.


11 Week : Friend's Kid birthday party, Great one, at Gilbert Park. This park is really good and well maintained, basketball court, kids activity all are there.

10 week : Friend's Kid birthday party. Great one, really enjoyed, no travel.


9 week : St.Joseph Silver Beach
We attempted to come here on June, but because of cold weather, we abandon our trip. Great beach and nice photographic views. But i don't recommend unless you are very interested to swim, because there is no other activities over there.




8 week : Fishing at Plainfield Fishing Resort. This place is good for fishing, entrance fees is $9.00 and boat rental per hour $5.00.

7 week : Fishing at Shabbona Lake. Here is my post about it.

6 week : Fishing and picnic at Blackwell Forest Preserve. Beautiful place. Just 6 miles from Naperville. Great outing place for family picnic, fishing, boating, volleyball and many more.

5,4,3,2 week: No travel because of my son's soccer practice on Saturdays. Just went to Naperville river walk and Centennial beach and nearby water parks.

1 week : Indiana Duns National Park's
