I was amazed at how many stores Gurnee Mills offered. I could have easily spent an entire day here!
Bass Pro was full of great photo opportunities...
...as was Rainforest Cafe!
If you've ever had the urge to sit on a giant Chicago-style hotdog, look no further than Gurnee Mills.
I decided to buy a gift card for Mrs. Lincoln. I'm sure she'll want to visit Gurnee Mills next time we're in the area.
I could have relaxed on the "o," but I had a nice room with my name on it.
I took advantage of the hotel's many amenities - including the iron to touch up my suit.
After a 15-minute power nap, I was ready for my next stop:
I took advantage of the great sound system and belted out some of my favorite songs.
You know I can't say no to dessert.
Up next was:
Whirlyball is something you have to see to believe.
It combines basketball, hockey, lacrosse and bumper cars all rolled into one exciting sport.
Afterwards, I took aim for a game of laser tag.
Throughout the day, I "branched" out to get to know a variety of animals.
I even made friends with a bobcat...
..and this guy.
Luckily, not one of the animals tried to eat me.
I'm sure the snake was just giving me a hug.
Overall, I had a great time with all of the animals. And the views weren't half bad, either.
I was wiped out after another fun day, so I headed for my last stop of the day:
I was ready to eat!
Who says you can't eat dessert first?
...before more dessert?
After all the delicious food at Cadwell's Grille, I was ready to retire for the night.
Until next time!
