The traveling dreamer: Marsha's summer adventures.



The house from the front.	Driveway - house back from the road.
Beautiful blooms to greet the travelers.	Back deck with yet more flowers.
Who would believe that just down the road is the busiest intersection in the Western Suburbs? It is so quiet and peaceful here. The property is surrounded by properties that have not yet been developed and is at the end of a dead end street. (Well, Richard and Janet DO have to go a block to pick up their mail, but other than that, it is a little 'country' refuge in the midst of a very busy urban area.
Courtyard by Marriott Elmhurst a great hotel and very close; less that two minutes away from Janet's house! Free Wi-Fi, a great pool and fitness room. When we were leaving many business people were arriving for meetings. They have a very nice spot for large, but not huge meetings. What we liked most of all was the open seating areas, just like little living rooms, and the endless free coffee available all the time!
