karnythia for lunch in Hyde Park (HELLO SUPER FUN TWIN!) and are now in Utica, IL, about 95 miles southwest of Chicago, ensconced in the "Cowgirl Room" at the Willows Hotel.There's lots of cheesy cowgirl decor, a full kitchen, a fireplace, a jacuzzi, and a winery just down the street.
I will resist the temptation to mock Illinois wine until I've tried it and am justified in mocking it, which I'm sure will happen tomorrow.
