We left Eau Claire at 9 am and made it to Madison for lunch and then headed to Chicago. We hit Chicago around 3:00 and the traffic was slow but not too horrible. We took 294 around and then went over to Indiana. We missed the exit for 80/90 and went further on 94 than we intended and learned that turning around on toll roads is a real pain! We stopped in South Bend Indiana for dinner at a place called Brothers that had good beer and decent food, did a little shopping, and drove around Notre Dame briefly. What a beautiful campus. I had no idea Notre Dame was in South Bend! We made it to Cleveland Ohio that night at 11:30 CST/12:30 EST and got a good night of sleep at a nice hotel, the Doubletree Hilton Tudor Arms. It was a good choice – hard wood floors, marble, comfy bed. Long day. Google maps said it would take 10.5 hours to make it from Eau Claire to Cleveland and it took us 13 – well actually 14 but we lost an hour. We stopped to eat, probably spent a half hour going in the wrong direction, and Chicago traffic moved pretty slow so this isn’t too bad.
