Spring Break

For Trever’s spring break we took a little trip through Illinois. First, we drove through Quincy so we could eat at Tiramisu, this amazing authentic Italian restaurant. We also stopped by Hobby Lobby and Old Navy for a little shopping. Quincy was a good half-way point for the trip. Then we headed to Springfield. We got checked into our hotel, and then went to a few stores. We had dinner at Chili’s, and then headed back to the hotel. The next day we hit up some of the Abraham Lincoln sites, which was our main draw for visiting. We were able to walk from our hotel to most of the sites, which was nice. Besides the chilling wind, it was a nice sunny day in the 40’s. We saw Abraham Lincoln’s home, the old Capitol Building, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum, and Abraham Lincoln’s tomb. It was all really neat and very interesting. After the sites we had dinner at Panera and then a little more shopping at the mall. While I went to a few stores, Trever took Liberty to play on the playground, which of course she loved! Trever and I were happy with our shopping because we both got sunglasses – his were $15.00 and mine were $12.00 – big spenders! All in all, the trip was great, and we were really glad we decided to go.

We got back home late Tuesday night, so we were able to enjoy the rest of the week at home doing some fun stuff, and also getting some work done around the house. We always look forward to breaks, but it's always hard to get back to "real life" afterwards. We just figure, the sooner Trever gets going again, the sooner he'll be done, though.
