A long long drive

Welcome to the Jungle...

Sunday I loaded the car up with gifts, pillows, and dogs. We took the Loooooong drive to my parents. Kudos to Madison and Daisy -- they did an excellent job as road warriors!
The drive was pretty good... until Pesotum IL. The snow started to get rough and there were three wrecks in a .5 mile stretch. Traffic was pretty slow there.

I got to join up with one of my best friends from college, Nikki (from In the Nik of Time) for a quick dinner. We would have liked to have a little more time... but I had a bit more drive ahead of me. Seeing Nik reminded me of a December past in which we all met in STL for the annual Border War. Good Friends. Good Times.

Here is the first trip out into the snow at the Tolono rest stop on I-57....
