my journey, destination unknown
This past weekend, I headed off on a rare trip – one on which I did nothing. I made no decisions. I don’t know when I’ve ever had a couple of hours like that, much less a couple of days like that! I flew up to Detroit and met my aunt and uncle who took…
On our way home from our trip to Saint Louis, we decided to make a short detour off the interstate to visit Metropolis. A quiet downtown square area, dwarfed by a huge statue of Superman greeted us. We took a little time to shop in the Superman gift shop and then snapped some photos before…
Six and a half years ago, the girls and took a weekend trip to Saint Louis and, on the recommendation of a friend, we headed to City Museum. Ever since that trip years ago, the girls have been begging to return. So when we accompanied Rob on a St. Louis back in June, a return…
In June, the girls and I accompanied Rob on a trip to St. Louis. The girls had two “must visit” places for the trip: City Museum and the Gateway Arch. So first thing Sunday morning, we headed down to the river to visit the arch. While there, we chose to visit the Westward Expansion Museum,…
The girls and I accompanied Rob for a short work trip to St. Louis in June 2012. The girls were so happy to get back to the City Museum once again! summary posts: photo friday: gateway arch photo friday: city museum photo friday: metropolis, il photos: Picasa Album of Saint Louis Photos instagram: on the…
On the way home from St. Louis, we made a slight detour to see the “Man of Steel” in his hometown. Thing is, he’s made of bronze.
We spent the whole day at the City Museum in St. Louis. We first came here years ago and the girls have been wanting to return ever since … Glad we finally made it.
Opposite of the last time we went up the arch, Camille didn’t mind the ride up and Chloe started to panic.
With a later than hoped for start, we hit the road this morning. Twice we encountered closed interstates. But the driving was easy in Illinois!
Two weeks ago, the girls and I packed up Evie complete with in-van organ, and headed north to Chicago. While the trip was really just a “mission” involving delivering the organ to our friend Ralph (if you are in search of great family music, you should add Ralph’s World to your playlist!) We hadn’t planned…
a week ago, the girls and I were on our way home from Chicago. Earlier in the month, I had begun to work earnestly on a calendar of “kindie events” and was thrilled to see that Justin Roberts would be performing in Champaign, IL, right as we were heading home. We arrived in Champaign-Urbana (everyone…
We’ve been planning all summer to make a trip up to Chicago but have been waiting for a convenient weekend that would also include at least one or two kindie concerts. And, finally, we managed to make it up north on the last weekend of August. As we were delivering a large object, we decided…
Today’s highlights: Entering MO through the back door due to the flooding in IA. Buffet lunch in small town MO. Getting closer to home. After a quick (not vey good) breakfast at the Super 8, we headed south on I-29. The flooding was quite visible; sandbags on the highway were holding back the water. We…
Today’s highlights: Eating pie at Wall Drug. Cob-shaped popcorn balls from the Corn Palace. A short detour to visit MN. After some coffee and chatting with our friends, we packed up the car and headed out. As we headed east, our first stop was at Wall Drug. Chloe asked what was special about Wall Drug…
We are here in Chicago for our annual pilgrimage. The past two summers we have come to Chicago at least once to hear Ralph’s World in concert. Each summer we have spent at least one night in the hotel we are in right now (Typing poolside). I almost feel at home here. We know where…
Flowers, flowers everywhere in this beautiful park outside Chicago!
It’s been a few days since I’ve posted. We went off to Chicago to see Ralph’s World perform (yet again)! It was great fun, as always…
It’s been a few days since I’ve posted. I spent the weekend in Chicago with some friends to see Ralph play his adult stuff. It was a fantastic weekend!
