Well, I’ve been back in town from a glorious family vacation to Florida for a few days now, and realistically, I guess I could say that I’m getting back on track. But catching up is going so slowly, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and like I’ll never be done. But you know what? With 4 small children in the house, I NEVER feel caught up on the to-dos, even when I don’t leave town, so what does it matter if I took a week and a half off? It was great! Eventually I’ll get around to posting an in-depth trip diary – these have come in such handy when I go back to find the name of a restaurant we visited or certain info about the trip; it’s fun for reminiscence purposes too. For now, I will just post a small run-down of the 20-hour drive from Florida to Ohio which illustrates the dramatic temperature decrease we endured between the south and the north. There will be more to come later, I promise, so please don’t forget about me and my little blog.

Mine was a faster temp change. Left Florida in the rain and about 65 deg.. The temp on the plane was a perfect 70 deg. Stepping outside in Chicago was sunny – but only 10 deg.
Ok, Mom, you win. But my journey was probably more fun. 🙂
It really didn’t seem so bad getting home- I suppose I just ended up bracing for the worst so I was ready for it. At least I didn’t have to work in it- just made up for that today though!
