We are in Indiana, safe and settled at my sister's house for the next few days. Saw parts of three states today - left Wisconsin, spent far longer than planned in Illinois, and finally our Indiana destination. Traffic was quite slow through Chicago so that lengthened our trip by at least a half-hour, but we drove out of the city without getting killed so that was a plus.
As we drove out of Madison this morning Daughter One said, in disbelief, "I can't believe we are really doing this." I felt the same. What we've talked about doing for several years is now in action rather than just in imagination. It's been an exhausting two days, but with a good night's sleep ahead of us we've got three days to enjoy new activities while we explore a new region of our world. Today we were able to take in a cousin's baseball game and top off our day with 4th of July fireworks (on June 30th) over one of Indiana's five lakes. (side note: My post tonight was going to be about the complete lack of water from central Wisconsin to here....but it's too late in the day for that.) And we've avoided heat stroke...holy cow has it been hot!
So that's it for today. I'm wiped out. Many, many hours behind the wheel; many, many miles in heavy traffic. Not sure what we'll explore tomorrow.....but you'll find out about it right here tomorrow night!
