Away we go!

So, yesterday we cleaned and said goodbye to 104 Hillside Ave and our wonderful roommate, Adam. 104 was where we had our second date, first kiss, and made our first home together. We made countless masterpieces on the beast of a stove, I soaked for hours in the claw foot tub, and we gleaned quarts of raspberries from the park across the street. We sang old country songs and nursed beers on the front porch, played badminton on Sundays across the street and walked the doggies through all manner of weather in the park just outside our front door. We loved our time there and will always remember it fondly.

Then we drove out to Byron to stay for the night. Did a few last minute adjustments to Harvey (hello bike rack and kayak!) and raided Laura's fridge one last time. This morning we got a bit of a late start because woah, sleep deprivation. We've caravaned with Pat most of the way today, and made decent time despite a few adjustments to the kayak (it is strapped to the roof with ratchet straps. Some of said straps are stronger than others.) Now we're in Indiana dodging a storm en route to Chicago to see my buddy from Bread and Puppet, Megan. We'll park in her parents' driveway for the night and tomorrow it's on the Minneapolis!
