Most of us made it down tonight. Stephanie is coming later as Elisabet was running a fever so she will wait to come once she is fever free. Ben and Taunya's family are coming on Sunday afternoon. Our trip down was a little stressful. The GPS announced that there was a traffic back up on 80 and recommended we take 57 north to 94. That should have been ok except we ended up going the wrong way on a one way street in Chicago. A police car pulled us over but did not give us a ticket. Evidently the road wasn't marked and we were just 1 of many that ended up going the wrong way (we were just following the crowd). Right after we got on 94 we had to stop to pay toll, a $5.00 toll! We were both shocked. Mark had forgotten to bring any cash and when I saw we were going to have to pay toll I was looking for quarters. Where oh where has the time gone? Quarters use to work fine. That $5.00 didn't take us very far, within a few miles we had to stop and pay another $2.20 and then Indiana charged us another $3.30. Crazy to think we had to pay $10.50 just to drive on not the best roads.
Once the cars were unpacked we drove to the small town of Dowagiac to pick up the race packets for the ones running the 5K and 10K tomorrow morning then stopped at Zeke's for dinner. They have a decent salad bar but the 4 piece fried chicken dinner was fried just too long and was not very good. The price wasn't bad, $14.00 which came with 1 side and the salad bar. We lost an hour by crossing a time zone so instead of 9:30 pm it is already WAY past our bed time.
