On Thursday, we traveled out to the suburb of Oak Park to visit Ernest Hemingway's birthplace and the museum that honors his life and achievements.

Inside the home- a bit different from Sandburg's place:

| Ms. Mocarski in her happy place |
 |
| Featuring our tour guide, Sue |
 |
| The "good morning" stairs |
 |
| Grace Hall Hemingway's (Ernest's mother) room |
 |
| Kinda weird, but Grace so wanted to have twins (in order to somehow get herself more attention) that she dressed Ernest and his older sister- a year and a half older- alike. They stayed in this room together and held hands across the two beds. (That's actually cute.) |
 |
| I don't think that I have to explain this one. |
 |
| Half of the grandfather's room. The only room in the house with a fireplace. |
|
After visiting Hemingway's birthplace, we walked about a block over to the museum. We didn't get to spend much time there, so I don't have too many pictures.
 |
| Oh, what age can do. |
We ended our day at Lou Malnati's with an early dinner.
 |
| We got a smile! |
