We were back in Michigan over the weekend for two things: 1) Wedding Shower for our soon-to-be sister-in-law, and 2) Working on Aunt Martha's new house. Lots of driving was involved (excellent traffic going through Chicago on this trip... both directions took under 5 hours), but overall it was a good trip.

Orshi's friends Kathy and Melinda stopped in Chicago on their way accross the country from CA to NY, so we drove into downtown yesterday to hang out, do a little shopping and have Uno's pizza with them. Fun was definitely had by all.

This weekend is our camping/SCUBA certification dives/Leinkugel brewery tour trip in Wisconsin. It's about 4 hours to the camp site, and another hour to the brewery beyond that. After this weekend, though, we'll know more about beer than we'd care to know and we'll be certified to SCUBA dive. Oh... and we'll probably be sick of driving for at least 2 weeks. ;-)
