The First McDonalds

Here's a little trivia for you:

1. Where was the very first McDonald's built?
Answer: Des Plaines, Illinois

2. According to Google how many minutes should it have taken us to get there for lunch?
Answer: 7 minutes

3. Where do Google's directions take you?
Answer: To a small brick home in a nice residential neighborhood on a dead end street.

4. How long did it really take us to get to the McDonalds?
Answer: 1 hour

5. Besides the first McDonald's, what else is Des Plaines known for?
Answer: Lots of diagonal streets each with two names depending which way you're driving

6. What does the McDonald's Museum have inside?
Answer: Good question. We learned that the museum is only open in the summer months. It is also surrounded by a tall iron fence. We were only able to see it from the parking lot across the street.

At least we got a picture! :)

Sad! This is one of those trips that you will remember forever, though. The trips I remember most when I was growing up were the trips where things didn't got the way they were supposed to!
