All In All --> It’s Just Another Day Gone
Soo, I’m writing about yesterday today, because yesterday I was entirely too tired to write. But, in order for yesterday to make entire sense, I must start with the day before yesterday; Thursday.
On Thursday morning I woke up at 6:30, which was too early to wake up…ever. Soo, I woke up, took a shower, ate breakfast. We all got to work by 7:30. I packed up my room the rest of the way…which pretty much meant ‘get everything out of the room.’ Things like boxes, computer parts and pieces, pillows, blankets, bags…ohhh and the bed that had to go across the hall. After that I went downstairs and cleaned out the van. It was a mess. There were still needles from the Christmas tree, jelly beans from our Minnesota trip back in October, and packaging from the normal commute from Naperville to Geneva. It took me a short time to get all of the trash out and a long time to vacuum the van, but it happened, and it was perfectly clean. I liked it a lot.
Then, around 3:00ish we left the house and went to the first hotel; Geneva, IL. We all rested and watched TV, and we just really had a good rest. Hmm…that was an interesting description. Anywayy, then we went to my grandparent’s house and had a pot roast and a corn and fruit salad…the food was amazing. After that we went back to the hotel where we met our cousins and went swimming! It was a lot of fun, and we just got to hang out. They also brought us a wonderful gift. J First, they gave us a bunch of road snacks…and then they also gave us a bunch of cards. We open a card every 100 miles we go, and in each one is a favorite memory that they had with us. It was a really good idea, and it’s soo fun!! I think that we all fell asleep about midnight that night.
On Friday morning, we woke up at 7:00am and packed up our room. We then got on the road. I literally slept the first 3 hours of the trip, when we reached Springfield, IL. In Springfield we went and saw Abraham Lincoln’s house. It was really interesting…buut that’s not where we wanted to be. We (apparently) wanted to be at the Presidential Library…so, that’s where we went. It was really interesting too, and the exhibit was really well done…it was actually quite amazing.
Soo…after that we got back on the road and drove for the remaining three hours of the trip and arrived at the hotel in Rolla, MO about 8. We order Dominoes pizza (sooo amazingly yummy!!!) annd, then we went swimming…it was…exciting. Kind of, ohh, yeeah, it was! We played Marco Polo, and hung out in the not-so-exciting Jacuzzi.
Hmm, we all fell asleep about midnight again.
