Almost home

Tonight is my last night on the road. I'm blogging from the Hilton Garden Inn in Kankakee, IL. Tomorrow Cheri & I will have lunch with our sister Lori and then Cheri will take me to O'Hare to fly back to good ole Minneapolis.

We had a fun, but long day. Left Madisonville, TN at 6:30 am (eastern time). Stopped in Nashville to see Rog & family for a few minutes. Travelled on to Metropolis, IL to join Uncle Bob, Aunt Barb & Cousin Benita at a 4th of July picnic. This was going to be a quick stop, but 2.5 hours later we were back on the road. We ran into some heavy rain and pulled into a Burger King parking lot for about 20 minutes.

We had a blast with Mom and Dad--traveling to Pigeon Forge and east of Knoxville to visit a friend of Cheri's who makes lots of things including homemade soap, sauve, and shampoo.

More details later--must get to bed!

Till next time,
