On the Road home;

in Quilting on the road

We started to head south yesterday leaving Wisconsin by 9:30 in the morning.  I celebrated my birthday (#56) with our daughter and the grandchildren and shared a birthday cake with my granddaughter who has her birthday exactly one week after mine and she will be 6 years.  Yesterday we drove about 5 hours and pulled into Springfield Illinois to camp until tomorrow morning.  Today we will be off to see the Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum and whatever else takes our fancy.  We will camp one more night here and then most likely one more on Saturday night, otherwise it is about a 9 or 10 hour drive from here (Illinois interstate has a law that motorhomes, campers, trucks speed limit is 55 so must go slower) and we do not like to be sitting that long and rather have a shorter 5 or 6 hour drive.  Depending on where we stop we might be there one or two nights – it all depends on what is to see in the area.  We will be home Sunday or Monday.

Mike takes literally hundreds of photo’s and then goes through them on the computer finding the best shots and edits them, so we are far behind on photo’s and I still do not have any from our second stop in the Madison area to show you.  I will get to those in a day or two or after we get home.

So I will leave you a few more photo’s from the pennisula area of Wisconsin, near Sturgeon Bay and north of Green Bay:

Sailboat in the Green Bay (not the city – the water on the inside side of the Pennisula is called that):

I spent a summer in Springfield, IL once. It was the summer I turned “sweet sixteen”. Several lifetimes ago LOL. I went with a friend to visit her grandparents and her brother. I didn’t do a bit of site seeing really, well, unless you count all of the gorgeous boys I saw.(and met) Ha! Oh my, the memories! :)
