Heading for Wisconsin

We arrived in Pennsylvania with our overwhelming mountain of luggage, surprising not only you, my dear readers, with how much we brought along, but my sister as well. But we did manage to get both our luggage and ourselves packed into the Suburban.

After a short overnight stay, we were on to the next leg of our journey.

Her family of 6 and ourselves made 12 of us traveling 14 hours in a 15-passenger van.

What do you think happens when you’re traveling with people (should I say they’re all in my family?) that have pretty ferocious coughs? You cause those around to cringe and cross themselves in the hope that they can ward off any germ.

What a time to be traveling! Lord, please help us all get better quickly.

After putting in several hours of driving, it was Russell’s time to take the wheel.

We all get in, doors are shut and our new driver gets behind the wheel. Varrrroooooom…… We sound as if we are going 100mph while going nowhere.

“What’s going on?”

“Oh, I thought that was the brake pedal.”

It was a great comfort to know we were in such good hands for the next few hours….

Breakfast was at Kennedy Park on Lake Michigan.

It was cold. 60°

Congo, where we will be next Thursday, is sounding pretty good right now with its warm climate!
