Today marks Day 4 and State 4 of our road trip. We had a smooth ride through Wisconsin on our way to the Windy City and the kiddo was, yet again, an all-star traveler. And it just so happened that it was time for a lunch break when we got to Black River Falls, home of the orange moose. This behemoth has been a marker on our trips along I-94 for years. Eli and I have traversed this highway through Wisconsin innumerable times on our way to Michigan and we always wave to the giant orange moose. So we thought it fitting that our moose baby meet the moose.
Caleb was just glad to get out of the car and bounce around a bit. And he decided to take his turn behind the wheel too.
We got into Chicago and my first instinctual thought was, "Good golly, I do not miss this place." After driving on the peaceful roads of Duluth, the traffic in Chi-town was especially grating. Despite my intense dislike of Chicago, however, I do love the friends we made there and it was sooooo good to see them! We saw some friends from our Small Group as well as some dear friends we met in med school. Our hearts were full and happy after our brief stay.
Then we made our way to Indiana yesterday where some other Small Group friends welcomed us into their home with the best burritos we've ever eaten in our life. Let me tell you, Eli and I are diehard Chipotle fans, but even Chipotle could not compare. These particular friends of ours are the most amazing cooks we've ever encountered. They put time and effort into the art of cooking, and they just love the opportunity to feed people, which is convenient for us since Eli and I love to eat and eat some more. So we had good food with good friends and we went to bed with our hearts full and happy still.
And today we're on our way to Dayton, Ohio, which isn't on the way to Louisville, but since we're in this neck of the woods we wanted to see one more couple from our Small Group who have the habit of blessing our souls.
And tomorrow: Louisville!
