Finally Home!!! I'll give a full wrap up later, but just wanted to let you know that I'm back home safe in Northbrook, after a very eventful day of flying. Do not ever fly Iberia. It is one of the worst airlines both in customer service and on-board ...

Laffy Taffy

We got done seeing Nana, she is fine, but she is feeling kinda lonely. She really wanted us to stay a little longer. Even though we had to repeat: our names, ages, able to drive, if we helped mom drive, how long the trip was going to be, if we been to the ...

Chicago--The Dumb Driver State
Jul 26, 2008

We entered Chicago around noon. The closer we got to the center of the city, the more we were coming that much closer to an accident. People were cutting off truckers and horns blared. All around it was a total bust trying to get to the pier to take the ...

Smoke Alarms & Ticks (cookie)
Jul 26, 2008

So last night I set off the smoke alarm!! It was fun, but I felt horrible. Thank GOD there were none of these little waterer thingys in the ceiling. We started day two off with a tick, but thank goodness it was just in the car- not on any of us. Driving ...

Well, Sami pretty much summed up the trip to Nana's house. After Nana's though, we went to the mall. It was pretty boring at first, but then we found a painting shop. It was totally awesome. I picked a wolf laying down. Lindsey picked a little dinosaur ...
