I would like to update you completely on my latest adventures. My brain dead haze did not fully capture exactly what went on our last night in Wisconsin and our driving trip yesterday. So here goes... We got up on Monday morning and decided we needed to spend one more day in the mid west. It was a perfect day to do just about anything.

Heading north will hopefully provide some relief. I'm eager for the windows down, Bulletproof blaring, and and my ever reliable navigator, Justin, to be passed out in the passenger seat.
