Our weekend went well except for the quick stop in Chicago. The rest stop at the Holiday Inn produced another surprise on Sunday morning - a wonderful breakfast in a nicely decorated dining area.
We decided to drive across Indiana to the other side of Lake Michigan to visit the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Museum. It was a long drive but well worth the trip. As I love history and all that is connected to the past, this was a real dream come true. Here we were in the place were these cars were manufactured and displayed as they have come home again. The magnificence of these vehicles is beyond description. The museum is well worth a visit maybe even on an annual basis as things keep changing there.
Today our awning is to go up. The rounded front end which we especially ordered can not be installed as it would protrude too far over the windshield. So we'll have to live with a flat end against the wind. The awning is also a 12 volt job instead of 110. There is no remote and the on/off switch needs to be held down while the awning is in motion. Cést la vie.
Haven't seen the painters there yet and not a sign of the diamond shield guy.
We are wondering as to the status of Angela and the family's Mediterranean Cruise. They left here in Friday for Barcelona and will spend some time going from port to port. We hope to get some email and pictures as Rick was adamant about seeing Pompeii. Eventually they will drop Amanda off at the Sorbonne for a month of heavy duty French lessons. I know we won't get any email from her. It was really great knews to hear that she made the honor roll at the George school for her Sophomore year. We hope she's in a groove of some sort now.
