During a trip to Dublin, Ohio on February 19 & 20, I had the opportunity to visit the Wendy’s flag ship restaurant and head office. Though they were bitterly cold days, it was sunny and clear for travel.

Pre- New Year City Adventure

Visited Chicago on December 30. Hiked from Union Station to Navy Pier. Enjoyed the view of Chicago on the Centennial Wheel. Took the free trolley to see Cloud Gate aka The Bean. It was a sunny albeit windy and frigid day.  Hike distance was about 5.5 miles roundtrip.
