ROAD TRIP (updated)

We decided to drive to Chicago to visit the grandchildren this Spring.

While we were on the road we also wanted to visit 
some family and friends since we had not seen them for awhile.

None of us are guaranteed tomorrow so we needed

to take advantage of this trip to visit them.

Let the nine day road trip begin!!

Since living in Florida I have realized that I 

have really missed springtime.
It is such a beautiful picture of new life!

 After two days on the road

our first organized activity 
with the grandchildren

was soccer practice.

We walked to the local park and settled in

to watch the action from the gym balcony.

The walk back home was interesting .  .  .

new life and fire destruction.

Half way home we noticed that some streets were blocked off and

there were many fire trucks and emergency vehicles around.

Earlier that morning while still in bed we had heard several sirens.

I guess this was the reason.

An apartment building had caught on fire.

Later in the day we did a little gardening.
We had brought zucchini seeds
for our granddaughter to plant.

More fun with the grandchildren to follow soon!
