road trip: second stop, home

So after leaving Schaumburg Lauren and I headed home, to Van Orin. Once there we spent a lot of time with my family, including several road trips with my mom and sister. We visited my first flute teacher, Jean...then off to Champaign/Urbana for a revisit of my U of I days...next back up to Chicago for an afternoon with Kevin (serrogate brother to Darci and me)...then to see myAunt in Oregon...finally a stop in Galena on our trip back to Minnesota to reunite with my 6th grade teacher, Mrs. Lyon. We packed as much as we could into the few days we had, and loved every minute of it. Of course now I am missing my family...
