A super fun weekend!

by chuckofish

As my mother mentioned, last week I ventured to north central Illinois to visit Mahomet and my sister and her family. I got back into the rhythm of highway driving–but Mid-Illinois is very different from Mid-MO, much flatter and much windier.

We had a lovely time, of course. Nate made margaritas. But we didn’t get too crazy. We ventured to a park/nature preserve and climbed this tall tower.

The top looked slightly like a prison cell, but there was a pretty view, through the bars!

We also checked out Champaign and had dinner at a hip restaurant downtown. Ida was a doll baby.

We worked on unpacking some boxes and Katie enjoyed some art books.

We also visited Urbana and enjoyed brunch at a diner in town.

When I left on Saturday afternoon, I had to endure the windiest highway driving I have ever experienced. But I did make it–it just took 45 minutes longer to get home!!
