Alas, the vacation is over. We put over a thousand miles on the trusty Civic and got to see many sights and many friends.
This is Jake breaking one of the commandments of water skiing (don't bend your arms) and suffering the consequences. Others include "keep your tips up," "stay in a ball," and the number-one cited piece of advice: "let the boat pull you up."I was skeptical that Jake would be able to ski, but he surprised us all when he popped right out of the water. Then he made all my dreams come true by double skiing with me. As I've always said, a couple that skis together, stays together.
The next leg of our journey was Chicago for some big-city food and fun. We saw the incredible Harry Potter exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry (unfortunately, no photos were allowed), and then headed to Wrigley Field. The Cubs lost and it rained the whole time, but we still enjoyed ourselves.
For the third leg of our journey, we met with the wedding officiants in Danville, stayed in Roy Lee's new palace and investigated a few reception venues. Then it was off to Lexington to see college friends and go to Megan and Patrick's wedding. Those photos are trapped in Jake's camera, so you'll just have to imagine how beautiful it was.
Yay for vacation!
