Illinois

Thursday we left for our annual trip to my sister's house in Illinois. Eleanor actually did pretty good on the 7 hour drive. we got there ahead of schedule on thursday afternoon and my mom and Don were still there visiting until friday so we got to spend some time with them too. The highlights were the pool, of course, the kitties- Eleanor loved to follow them around, jumping on the trampoline with nanna and Bailey, visiting with a few of mommy's old friends from high school and all the toys auntie Jess sent home with us. We got back today at about 3. the way home took a little longer due to heavy rains and then getting behind a turned over semi but again I can't complain. It could have been much worse. It feels good to be home though.
