The Home Stretch

Ashleigh and I arrived in Chicago yesterday in the morning. We had brunch with our friends Dan and Abby, who are engaged to marry in April. In the evening we had a delicious home-cooked meal at Abby's family home. Today, soon, we will drive out to Madison, the long-awaited final destination on this ambitious trip. If we don't crash on these final few hundred miles of roads, we will have executed the original travel plan with remarkable success. Wish us luck on our home stretch.
