Random Pics from our Journey

2009-07-17T21:00:00.005-06:00

This is how we keep track of all of our appointments.
Dry Erase maps! Genius!

The Wrigley Building???? in downtown Chicago.
That may or may not be true.
The caption, not the quote in the pic.

Josh and Laurel. (That's his fiance.)

J-man while driving with the Sears Tower in the background.
He was concentrating so hard on posing for this pic that we
missed our exit and had to circle around.
But it still wasn't as good as his attempt to throw 60 cents
into the toll basket without coming to a complete stop. He
made 0 out of 3 coins. Had to reverse, and try again. The
second time was a charm.
Classic. I laughed for a good 3 minutes.

Sycamore, Il

We stopped at Scooby's hot dog stand out in the
country and took full advantage of a couple of
Chicago Style Hot Dogs. So delicious and so very healthy!

Sears Tower in the background.

Josh at the United Center. Home of the Chicago Bulls.

Statue of Michael Jordan. He's pretty much a big deal around here.

We've seen about 8 of these everyday since we've been in Illinois. Weird.

Cubs Win! - And other related events.

Cubs Win! Postgame at Wrigley Field.

This large and in charge dude is the one that caught the
only foul ball hit in our area. Josh totally blew it.
It was right there. He only had to reach out and take it.
Just like candy from a baby.

Yeah we had the guts to let the homeless guy take our
picture with my phone. So brave.

Rockin' the Subway.

J-man in front of the famous Chicago Theater.

During the PGA’s John Deere Classic. Very Busy.

Welcome to Moline. Back in Illinois!

What a gorgeous stadium. And its sporting new turf.

That's funny.

Wait....Smile or Act Tough? I'm Confused.

We're hard core like that.

Nebraska - Lexington to Lincoln to Omaha

2009-07-07T21:28:00.009-06:00

Our first appointment of the day was in Lexington, NE so we took advantage of the welcome marquee.

I Said we were cruising around in a molester van. The only thing its lacking is a sliding door on the side. We have a much more sophisticated clam shell door instead.

We had to make a quick stop to take a picture at Memorial Stadium home of the Huskers.

Luckily I had my red DBS shirt on just for such an occasion.

National Champs in '94, '95 and '97. That's an amazing stretch.

It may look like we did nothing but cruise around and take pictures, we actually bought lots of gear. We went to 8 different shops and bought from 7 of them. not a bad day of work.

Leg Room!

Post #1

I am in North Platte, Nebraska.

Josh (my youngest and recently engaged brother) and I left Denver this morning in the work van. That's right I'm cruising the country in a white molester van.
