Well, we made it back from Detroit after a couple long days of driving. Things worked out great with the new car and we're excited about it. The trip to Michigan was pretty brutal. We left Denver at 12:45am on Friday morning, got into Detroit at 5:30am and met up with our guy to get the car at 8. Took care of business and hit the road at about 10. We made the 9 hour drive across Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and found a place to stay in Des Moines, Iowa for the night. We were both surprised at how nice Michigan was. We had always heard about how cold the winters are in Michigan, but that was about it. There were a lot of trees and lakes and it was very green. The trees were changing colors and we got to see some beautiful scenery as we made the drive toward Chicago.
After we made it out of that area and entered the plain states, we decided that the name 'plain' was appropriate. Not much to look at besides dead corn fields. So, we watched a couple movies on the laptop, listened to music and talked the rest of the trip away.
We got a chance to go visit some friends that just had twins recently and they were sporting some very nice blankets courtesy of Abby's grandma. Everybody says twins are a lot of work but we don't believe it...every time we go visit the twins just sleep the whole time. I think that maybe that's all they do.
Some of our other friends have a bouncing new baby boy that arrived this weekend. He is a pretty good looking little guy and also seems to do a lot of sleeping. It was a nice weekend, now back to work!
