On the road again

Since leaving Lancaster on Monday morning at 5 AM we have logged roughly 29 hours in the car and have driven approximately 1,630 miles through 5 states (Wisconsin is a lot bigger than it looks on a map). It has been a tiring week but tomorrow our travels bring us to Rockford, IL for some final team-building time with Sam and Sarah Snyder before our trip together in a week and a half. We are looking forward to staying in one place for at least the weekend. We were able to get in some fun in the sun kayaking in the Apostle Islands for an afternoon. It was supposed to be for 2 1/2 days but bad weather (and consequent 4 foot waves) forced us to change plans. The blessing is that with our extra day we were able to stop in central Wisconsin to visit Jason and Beth Anderson (and Caedmon and Jonas) and my sister and brother-in-law, Joanna and Andy. Now we are in Lindenhurst, IL with Amy Billings before our short trip to Rockford tomorrow.
