I took Friday off to go to Illinois for my cousin’s wedding. My sister had to work a half-day, so I was going to meet up with her at her house at 12:30 and we’d go from there. I had directions and did pretty well – until I missed a critical turn. I ended up way far out of my way and had to back track. I was looking for a South street and found the North version instead. It quickly turned into a dead end – and I’ve never been so happy to fail since it meant that a quick turn around would finally put me on the right track.<\/p>\n

I finally got to my sister’s house and we had a quick lunch before heading out. She did the first part of the drive and then we switched off after going through Indy. We had a good trip for the most part and the drive – though long – went pretty quickly. One funny bit was when I took over the driving. We were in the Wendy’s parking lot and I had trouble with the non-standard gear shift. In finally got it into drive and my sister said – “yeah, except that you should start with reverse”.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I drove the rest of the way and when we got there we were going to stay with the sister of the bride. I got lost several times in the sub-division where she lived and when we got there she wasn’t home. We called her and when she called back she suggested we stay with her parents – so, we headed there and made ourselves at home. When they got back, I gave my aunt the flowers I’d made for her and we hung out for a bit before we all crashed since it would be a long day on Saturday. The bed they had for me was too short, but any port in the storm…<\/div>\n
