thatjeffcarter was here

For our Christmas vacation we drove down from a little town in south-western Minnesota to the crowded city of Chicago to visit my family (parents, brothers, sisters in law, and aunt). The drive through most of Minnesota was through a thick white fog hanging heavy over snow encrusted tree branches.  It was a beautiful drive (at least until Wisconsin....)

I snapped this photo through the window of the van as we drove. It has, of course, been fixed up a little bit with Photoshop...

We've spent the first couple of days of our break playing games - Risk, Zombies!!, Quiddler, Catchphrase, etc...  The girls have gone shopping (of course).  And I think that today we're going to go to one of the Museums. Our son is hoping we'll go to the Field Museum.  He likes the dinosaurs. 

Hope you're enjoying whatever free time you have during this week.  Happy Christmas.
