So we left alton on tuesday the 19th of august by train to head up to chicago.... It was just supposed to be a 4 hour trip, but turned into an almost 6 hour trip.... I have never been on a train before; so regardless of the delay, it was a pretty cool experience! I usually get excited with any new experience regardless if it may seem dull.... I figure that it will probably be the best train ride compared to china trains I will ride in the next year :) call it preparation!
I have no clue where we were, but we were stopped for about an hour and 45 minutes because a freight train decided to chill on the tracks..... and back up a little bit... and then move forward a little bit.... and then chill, back up some, and finally move forward! I've always wondered what's going on there, but it allowed andy to beat me many times in UNO :) It'll be awhile before I play that game!
we did eventually make it to wisconsin because we have been able to do several things here with my mom.... we went to the milwaukee art museum, which i am suprised and proud that andy went through with it lol standing and looking at things are definitely not his thing! I posted an album up on our website if anyone wants to check it out!
we also went to the zoo in racine.... can we say RANDOM! you wouldn't think there was a zoo there, but it is the cutest thing! there's more opportunity for people to be interactive with the animals..... andy interacted with a lynx.... I took pictures of the progression of how andy was terrorizing the cat lol the lynx is all relaxed in the beginning and the end picture shows a wide-eyed, ears down lynx :) oh andy....
soon we will be heading out to LA! till then..... eat some cake!
