Traveling

We started out with a red eye flight out of San Francisco which led to an arrival in Chicago at around 4 am.  We stretched out as much as we could near our gate and tried to catch some more zzzzs.  But eventually we ate breakfast at Starbucks and then nearly missed our flight that left an hour late because they made no announcements about the departure (but we heard the announcements for all the flights to Philadelphia that were 20 gates down...go figure).  You might think that sleeping in between your brother's feet is a bad idea?


A smoothie and brownie...the breakfast of children...in an airport.

Driving past a Wisconsin dairy.

Down a hill.  Weeeeeeee.
We had to get from Wisconsin to Michigan somehow and this time instead of enduring the 7 to 8 hour journey in the car around the Lake, we decided to cut across the lake using the ferry.  So we boarded the SS Badger and hoped that our car would actually be put on the ferry as well (it is a valet service).  Then we played games, watched movies (not really for us), talked, colored, and ran around while enjoying the view.  Much better than strapped in a seatbelt!

I hope everyone is on board because we are setting sail.

Aunt Alecia liked playing Life, BINGO, and running around with the boys on the trip.
