Hello from IL!

Well, I'm now staying with my dear college friend, Kristy and her family. They live just north of Chicago. We arrived Tuesday evening after a long drive from MO. Today, Wednesday we went to downtown Chicago, saw some sights, took Russell to the airport and then spent 3 hours in traffic! It's a good thing that everyone took a nap. :) Tomorrow I make the drive to MN.

We went to Navy Pier, which is where you can see Lake Michigan. We took an archetectual boat tour on the river that runs through the town. It was really neat to see all of the cool old buildings and to hear their stories. We got some hot dogs to eat on the boat. Russell of course got the "Chicago Style" dog.

After the boat tour we walked around Navy Pier for a little bit and then headed off to the airport. It was really fun to see the Chicago skyline.

I can't wait to see the pictures. Sounds like a great time. Ronnie would have loved to have been there, not for the dog but to catch a Cubs game.

Road Trip

The first weekend in April we went on a road trip to Phoenix, AZ. We went to visit Russell's sister Cheryl and her husband Gavan and their two dogs. The drive (which I did all of it) was really pleasant and pretty. We went through a Joshua Tree forest and then saw the most amazing saguaro cactus. They were huge and were just out there along the road. (In my youth when I would picture the west this is what I imagined. Huge cactus everywhere.) It was amazing. We loved seeing the sights of Phoenix and going to the Science Center. We had a great time at Cheryl and Gavan's house. We miss them, but we're glad that they are not too far away.
