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 was NOOO FUN and the TRAFFIC! ho.ly. COW. bumper to bumper or a hour and a half, just to go 8 miles, when you are ALL about to pee your pants- is NOO FUN! but it does makes everyone a little crankyer. I learned that if you just dont say anything then you wont get snapped at, if it's important- it can wait. But once we found a Starbucks and Sam and Cait got out of the men's room (girls line was too long) we were all happy once again, and once we were back in the traffic we saw someone peeing on the side of the road which made us all laugh.

CHICAGO SUCKS! It has gone underground. just POOF!- there goes the GPS signal! So since we all had to pee at the time and we tried to find the place for a realllly long time, boating didn't happen. In stead we went pee, found our hotel, had Domino's, and Then we went to go see Grandma' Nana. & SHE IS ADORABLE. She is so nice and fun.

Today we are going back to see her so I have to go get ready, Hasta Luego!

Moving on
Glad you are all getting closer. Sorry about all of your traffic problems in Chicago. Here's a tip - don't travel the interstate roads in Chicago during rush hour. Leave Chicago by Sunday, mid afternoon and scurry to Indiana. Have you considered visting the Indiana Sand Dunes?
You should also go to visit Grandpa Keuper's famous rocks in Evanston. Tell Mom to head east from Nana's until your feet are wet, then head South to Dempster Street. There is about a mile of rocks there.
