And we're off!

Friday, the 16th-Mo was kind enough to give us a ride to the airport. We were having such a good time talking that she forgot she was taking us to the airport. The flight was pretty uneventful, but Daryl couldn't get that much rest and I didn't sleep at all. Once in the Midwest we went to our good friends, Nathan and Mary Anne, or collectively, The Gumskis. They very kindly opened up their home to us and we had a lovely time eating Thai food (Thai Smile, yummy.) and catching up. They have quite the cozy little apartment in Chicago.

Ok, I have to mention that I woke up at 4a with a sore on my hand. What is up with my skin? Glad I brought my gloves.
