We finally succumbed to our desire to see our family and friends in Chicago and made a trip back to Illinois. Now I am trying to figure out if it was worth it. Yesterday afternoon while we were out to lunch and a movie with our friends the Agnellos, it started to snow. Then it started to sleet. Then came the freezing rain. Fortunately, they know something about clearing streets here in Chicago, so the trip home was a little slower, but not dangerous. When we got to our son and daughter-in-law's house and parked in the driveway our car began to slide backwards. Before it was finished, it had slid about six feet down the driveway. We quickly realized one reason we moved to Texas (it didn't help that we were getting regular weather updates from our daughter in Texas).
But despite my griping, the trip has been worth it. The kids are as cute as we remembered, Robert and Sarah run a comfortable hotel and it was great to reconnect in person with our friends here. Nonetheless, tomorrow we are hightailing it south.
