Ike and Oak Brewery

Our local brewery tour continued on the Fourth of July at Ike and Oak in Woodridge. Andy got excited when the GPS directions told us turn on Mulligan Drive. That was a sign that we'd be near a golf course. And we were - Seven Bridges Goof Course - and, yes, he played it once. It was hard.

We sat on the outdoor patio and they had live music, Christian Alan Hansen. He's been on American Idol and asked Andy about the USA Ryder cap he was wearing. He played a couple of country songs I knew, "Rocky Top" and Randy Travis' "Forever and Ever, Amen."

We split a tasty pizza for lunch.

We passed The Morton Arboretum on the way home and saw this big snail sculpture. It's part of the arboretum's Vivid Creatures art exhibit of native Illinois animals. The snail is 16 feet tall!
