My parents stopped in Chicago for a quick dinner on their way from Ohio to Galena, where the wedding will be held in the fall. They have a little window of time between my dad's basketball season coming to a close and before his summer camps begin, so they wanted to drive to Galena and "check the place out."

Mom: You know, for when various family members ask about this or that, so we have a sense of the place.
Dad: Don't worry, I'll check out the golf courses. I can be in charge of organizing tee times.
