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.
