Heading out yet again....

This time, by car. We leave tomorrow for the trip to Chicago. We'll spend Monday night at Doug and Stacy's in Seattle, then leave early on the 2nd for Chicago. We'll drive to Lewiston, Montana for our first overnight. We've never been in Lewiston, Montana, before - I'm looking forward to some new scenery.

Some of you may remember from the last cross-country drive, we took a new-to-us route through eastern Montana, through the Crow Reservation. That was pretty interesting, and it had the bonus of no orange cones (see my blog from 2009 for my observations on the ubiquitous orange traffic cones). This year, we're changing the route again, so perhaps I'll have something a lot more interesting to talk about this year. :) I hope so, for all your sakes.

We will arrive in Chicago on Thursday afternoon. Naomi enters the hospital early Friday for her surgery. So, please remember to pray for Naomi, Miles and Rebecca on Friday...Miles will stay with us while Naomi is in the hospital - and Becky will stay with Naomi the whole time. They will be at Rush University Hospital, with the head of pediatric orthopedics as their surgeon - Naomi will be in good hands.

Okay, pictures will begin Tuesday evening, and I promise to faithfully blog through the trip (well, not when we're sailing - no Internet connectivity there).
