From PA to (Near) Peoria

[alycewilson]

Despite all obstacles -- starting with funding (thanks, generous friends!) and ending with nasty Illinois weather -- we have safely made it to our destination. The Ringbearer is officially in Illinois!

Look at that little faaaace! No wonder your friends couldn't resist putting him in a tux. :)

Do you provide that 10-minute warking, 5-minute warning, 1-minute warning when nearing time to go? That really helped with our kids, because they at least know that the "end" is approaching, and that it's getting closer and closer. They don't have much of a concept of time, but they understand the countdown all the same.

Hope you've found some fun things to do, and that the weather improves!

I do, but it doesn't always work, sadly.

That it sometimes works is a good sign! And it will get better as he gets older.

Are you really closer to Peoria than Bloomington? I lived in Peoria for 3 years, and was really glad to get out. :O

Don't know! We're currently exploring Champaign and will make our way to Monticello tonight for the rehearsal. My husband told me we were near Peoria last night. This tickled him.

I like the prices and the friendly people, but I could do without this blasted wind!
