It All Begins

Our trip began this morning at 8:27 (“20 minutes later than I wanted to leave,” said Andrew”) after packing up the car and stopping for ice.  We have talked about this trip for a year now so it’s strange to actually be going! As you read these posts, you should know they will probably be written by Alexis, since as Andrew says, “You are the blogger, I am the hotel finder and ticket buyer.” 

This trip will truly be a test of our marriage seeing as we are rarely in the same place for more than 4 days. Starting today, we will be in the same place for 14 days! My brother joked that we should have a color system like they have at the airport to show the threat level, while my friend Julie said I should use different font color in my posts. So if you see that I am writing in red and all caps, you know something is wrong.  

Anyway, here are some pictures taken on the way to Detroit:

Hit traffic going through Chicago...shocking!

I've always wanted to stop at the McDonald's at the Skyway Oasis! :)
