We left our campground super early and found a cute coffee shop "caffeine and carbs" across from a restaurant named sweet peas. Pictured above.
We didn't get too far before disaster struck.
On our way from lunch in joliet IL.
Sweetpea just couldn't take the hauling, we suspect it's a blown spark plug. We're super greatful this wasn't a worse case scenario. Right as we were pulling onto the highway it was jam packed with traffic and our spark plug blew out, instead of blowing out while we were going 70 down the road. Jeff was the tow truck driver and he was incredibly helpful, and said he would take us to a mechanic he knew in town, and ended up leaving a note for him on our behalf.
Since it was Sunday on Halloween, there wasn't any autoshops open. With our trip on forced pause we decided to enjoy our night. We got yummy food and planned our next move.
Then we went to the old joilet prison for a self guided flashlight tour
It was super interesting learning about the history of the place.
The famous prison scene from the blues Brothers was filmed here.
It was really eerie in the old penitentiary.
Solitary confinement cells. No thanks.
Only a few hours in today.
