Sometimes I have a big plan for our day and sometimes the plan for the day just sort of develops as it happens. We headed out today for an important errand to buy an important patch for Meghan's brownie vest from with her campsite from Girl Scout Camp on it that we could only buy in Joliet. Then we made a couple of other errandy stops before I realized we were very close to the Little Red School House Nature Center and veered off course and headed there. I also got slightly lost while veering off course and apparently when numbered streets go in both directions it can totally screw up GPS too, because my phone sent me in more than one direction at the same time, lucky for everyone I can read a map better than my GPS. Unfortunately the Little Red School House closes earlier than I realized so we only got to have a brief visit and speed hike. The speed hike was almost two miles long though so I guess we can't really complain now can we? We both agreed a return visit with more time to spend is in order. I went to the Little Red School House fairly often as a child, but it's been several years since I had been there and I was shocked by the huge new nature center. The rest of the place was a lot like I remember.
