First Part of Trip

We arrived in Bloomington on Friday evening after a rather miserable 11 hour drive from Jackson, MS. We'll be doing shorter days for future trips.

Viv discovered that Daisy will lick her if she sticks her face close enough:

We've taken her out on the bike on the local rails to trails path for both of the past two days:

Great-grandma Jarand:



This is around hour 5 of the drive up. You can imagine how the last 6 went.




Viv enjoys getting ready for the bike rides almost as much as the ride itself:




Anyway, this is our last day in Bloomington. My dad left for Germany this afternoon and we'll be heading to Sullivan, IL to visit her grandma Linda in the morning. I'll try to post some more pictures in the next couple of days. We're going to do some hiking around Carbondale, IL on Tuesday and stay in Memphis Tuesday night.
