Prep and Travel

Lots of veggies, and lots of plates! I forgot to take a photo until after I had already fed them their dinner, so it’s a total of 12 plates if you count the ones they’re snacking on in the back.

My first thought was to get around this guy as quickly as possible, because the movies taught me that the straps were going to snap at any minute. And every single one of those things was going to be bouncing on the highway like basketballs.
I’m still laughing, looking over these photos. And I still can’t wrap my head around the odds and the sheer randomness, of how these dots all connected together.
While I used my phone to take photos while overseas, Michelle and Mike had their camera with them. We all traded photos just a day or so ago, and here are a few from their bunch.
We’re officially back in Chicago! Although it seems I picked up a bit of a cough, during our underground tour of the chalk caves at Taittinger.
