First Stop: Vegas!

On the first day of our road trip, we drove 10 hours to Las Vegas.  We enjoyed the heat and recharged our batteries by staying mostly poolside.


We strolled around after the heat died down to take in the Vegas sights.

Road trip!

I realized the other day that October will mark the 24th year of my California residency.  I moved to San Francisco in 1989 from Chicago.  Everything I owned was packed into a mailing box or suitcase and away I went on my new adventure in California.  

During these past 24 years, I have never driven back to the Chicagoland area.  I've always wanted to  embark on this journey and now, 24 years later, the time has come to explore the sites between California and Indiana, my birth state.  With a luggage holder on top of our Prius, the 4 of us load up and away we go....

The Surprise Visit



Jack and Faye celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary. I flew in to Chicago and posed as their waitress at Smith & Wollensky in downtown Chicago. We had a wonderful time on the rainy Chicago day. It was great to reconnect with family and old friends.
