We arrived at our motel around 4 PM yesterday. Got settled in and called Jim and Kathy to arrange getting together for dinner. What a great time, but more about that later.
The first day's travel was quite uneventful. We were slowed down a bit by construction on I-88. Even with that we made great time. We were within 20 miles of the motel, following the instructions that we got from MSN maps, when they indicated we should merge with I-290. No problem until we are forced to go west or east. You guessed it, we went the wrong direction. Fortunately we only had to go about five miles out of our way to get back on track.
Now back to dinner with Jim and Kathy. They picked us up and took us to their town house for a drink and discussion. Great time. The zinfandel was very nice, and the conversation was even better. We did have some catching up to do.
They then took us to dinner at a place called Jamesons. Maryann and I keep forgetting that we need to share orders. We both had beef tips cooked in wine and served over fettucini. There was enough on one plate to feed us all. It probably will, because we packed up what we couldn't eat and donated it to Jim and Kathy's fridge. I know they will enjoy it as much as we did.
This morning our wake up call came around 5:30 AM, which would have been great if we had asked for one. Rolling over and going back to sleep is a good thing to do when you don't have to be somewhere at a given time. Hence the time this is posted. I had to do something while Maryann was showering and shampooing. OK it is my turn now. I'll get back to you later,
Remember,
Serve well!

I'm glad you and one set of my in-laws had a chance to get together. I look forward to reading more of this trip.
