Pancakes

A few weekends ago we traveled to Michigan for Joel to be the best man in a wedding. On the way to and from the wedding site we stayed at a Holiday Inn Express just outside of Rockford, IL and we encountered, for the first time ever, the pancake machine! Maybe you all have seen one of these before (refer to picture) but we had not and we were in awe! All you had to do was push a button and in less than a minute 2 pancakes were produced! It was fascinating and the pancakes were delicious. You know those hotel waffle makers and how they are often surrounded by a mess? Well, not with the pancake machine! We would recommend every hotel waffle maker be replaced. It was legen...wait for it......dary (that's for all of you HIMYM fans out there)! Seriously. If you ever get a chance to travel through Illinois stop at this hotel and have a pancake or two. You won't regret this decision! But make sure you have lots o' change for the tolls along the way.
