we are off to illinois on a sisterly road trip to visit the grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and many other family members who we hope to see while attending our family reunion hosted by our grandparents and great aunt and uncle.
this is our first real road trip. YES! i even bought a cooler especially for it (plus we needed a cooler)
I am very sad that Tony cannot come. :[ but he must fulfill his duty and report to drill.
I wanted him to be able to spend some time with my side of the family, since the wedding doesn't really count, and they are much further away than his family. Alas, at least he will be home when I get home, not at war.
Moving on.
Whilst planning for said adventure, I Google Maps'd (yes i just made it a verb) the route. And then found that through the miracle of technology and satalites, I could acutally view their house on Google Maps. Yes, view their house in what I believe is close to real time. It was quite interesting. I then found that apparently my house and my parents house are not avaliable for "street view" as they called it. Which is funny. Maybe it's because NORAD put out some big blocking signal over Colorado Springs (that was very goverment conspiricy of me to say).
It was kind of fun! While looking I almost expected to see my mom's van pull in- because she and Holden are already there!
Well. We are off on Wednesday morning to drive straight through for a short but sweet visit.
I am actually VERY excited!
