Saturday and Sunday, 10/6-7
We left Moline really, really, REALLY early on Saturday morning. Like 3am Central Time. That's when Nils woke up and he knew that we had a lot of driving to do, so why not get to it? We were ready to leave within minutes and on our way this frosty, misty morning. Can I just say that it is incredibly cold?!?!?
I was able to doze in the car for an hour or so, and we stopped mid morning for a more deliberate nap for both of us. Caffeine helped also. We arrived at the Detroit-Greenfield RV park after 8 hours of driving. Nice park, full of families there for Hallow'een weekend celebrations. They decorated their RVs and the kids dressed up in costume and at 5pm there was Trick-or-Treating. We were fast asleep at that point, but no one disturbed us because our outside light was not on.
Next morning we woke at a more normal hour (7:30 EST) and left around 8 for Ann Arbor (25 mins away). We stopped at a McDonald's for 20 mins or so to download some pictures and check email...by 9 on the dot we were knocking on Kai's door. Isabel had a group tennis lesson at noon, so we went along to watch, of course.

After tennis we went out to eat a delicious vegetarian lunch, then came back to the house to hang out. While Kai and I walked Jackie the dog, Nils performed math magic with Isabel who now all of a sudden can tell you what 2+7 is. Yay!
