 McHenry, IL  -- A lunchtime stop on the way to a state park took us to McHenry Station. Unfortunately, the building's 
Main Street Station restaurant was closed due to the Labor Day holiday. This wasn't a disappointment, though, because the up-close sight of two parked Metra engines delighted our railroad aficionados.

Lunchtime's Plan B took us to 
Windhill Pancake Parlor. Rumor has it they have trains, too, but we only got as far as enjoying the dining room's copious Americana decorations.

No worries! Having a reason to return for further explorations is not a bad thing!
