Wilmette, IL

Tom invited JJ and his coworkers up to his home in Wilmette for an end of summer BBQ over the Labour Day weekend. We had never been up to Wilmette so a few of us got together early to check it out.


Wilmette's big attraction is the Baha'i Temple. There are only 7 of these temples in the world and apparently, this is one of the 7 Wonders of Illinois (one of the other wonders is Wrigley Field). This building is quite ornate and it's the first thing you see when you enter Wilmette on Sheridan Road.


Some detail of the building... notice that every column in this building has carved in it all the major religions in existence!



Before we went to Tom's, we stopped off at what Pat remembered as the best ice cream in Wilmette... I think.
Homer's!



Tom fed us well. He had a huge chunk of meat and one of the best grilled salmons I have ever had (too bad I didn't take a picture of the delicious salmon)!
