Chicago

Is it the long plane trips we've taken that have made the kids such good travellers? Yesterday was a long drive (PA, OH, IN, IL) but it was pretty uneventful.  Three movies (thanks, Donna), some travel games (thanks, Lisa), Wii (thanks, Rich) and DS helpes pass the time.  Rich actually let me drive a little bit so don't believe him if he says he drove the whole way...it's not like I haven't been offerring.
We're going to hang around Chicago today for a bit before heading off to Omaha.  Me, I could skip the city but I'm really looking forward to driving through Iowa and Nebraska. Is it possible for the midwest to seem exotic?
Cecilia keeps shaking her head and laughingly saying, "I still can't believe we're actually doing this!"
Oh, we've also decorated our car.  It says (among other things) Have you seen us? Snap our pic and send it to lrcaat@gmail .com. CT to Grand Canyon  Two people have responded but several more have slowly driven by, taking our picture and waving.

  2. That is truly an excellent idea to put a sign on your car asking people to take pictures of you traveling! Whoever thought of that is a true visionary.
