Going East - Week 2

April 28th – May 5th 2013

We have spent Monday in Chicago (close enough). We were happy to visit with J.'s sister and her two children. We visited botanical garden (always so much fun with two small children). The spring is just coming here so we even did not see tulips blooming. Still, the grass was growing and there were some plants blooming so it was really nice. As we are moving east, the spring is going with us. It is pretty pleasant. The trip was relatively uneventful (Going East), but we visited many family members that we did not see for a very long time. At the end it was pretty nice. Tuesday morning we walked to the main street and got a bakery treats. It was nice morning in suburban Chicago. After getting back, we had to load our bags and leave. The road was busy but we were (I guess) lucky and did not have to stop or even slow down anywhere. It was quick drive through the city (nice). And boring known drive to Michigan. Home. We stopped once for gas and once to stretch our legs. Even it was relatively short and quick drive, we had more than enough and were looking forward being home. We arrived around 4.05 pm. Unload the car, talk to our family and be happy to be done driving. Pizza for a dinner. It was nice to be at home, unfortunately D. pulled the muscle on his back and was hurting. On Wednesday and Thursday, we did some driving around, saw our house and did some clean up and maintenance. We saw our neighbors. The life goes on. At this time of the year Michigan is pretty nice (it is spring, everything is getting green and blooming). On Friday, most of the family left for Florida (we drove them to the airport). J. spent some time with her friends, I did bunch of work around the house and felt really bad (feeling sick). We could not believe it, but the week was gone pretty quickly.
