On the Road again...hoping for some homemade pie

We are getting organized to get on the road again.  This years Spring Break is a little different for us, no beach, plane or sun we are heading on a Shisler Family Roadtrip. The DVD players are charging as are the video game players.  The DVD's are packed, the boys are packed....by tomorrow afternooon we will be on the road.  After school we are heading out.... 

First,we are heading to Chicago for a few days.  We have never taken the boys there.  We plan on hitting a couple of museums, the Shedd Aquarium, the ESPN Zone and staying at a hotel downtown.  The boys are really excited to be in Chicago.  Maybe we will drive by a baseball stadium or 2 as well for fun.  We don't have anything set in stone, which is kind of a nice treat for us.

Monday we will leave Chicago and head to the farm in Ohio to see Scott's parents.  That is where we are hoping for some homemade pie.  mmmm.... hint hint Grandma Shisler.  For those of you who don't already know...Scott's Mom is probably the worlds best pie maker.  (sorry Mom I like yours too, but it's hard to compete with those crusts of hers)  We will spend a few days there, meet their new puppy Cindy and just do farm stuff.  Jack is hoping to ride the tractors with Daddy and the boys are looking forward to seeing the new hoop they bought in the fall.  We may swing by Columbus after the farm...we have the end of the trip pretty open now.  A couple of ideas and options for the way back to Iowa but we will see what the week brings.

We are hoping Drew does okay on the trip.  He seems SO much better today even than yesterday, so hopefully we won't wear him out.

As much as I love the beach and the sun, I am really looking forward to this trip and to something a little bit different this year.  My 2 beach/sun trips in February probably helped me get that fix a bit.  :)

....as Willie Nelson says best "on the road again...just can't wait to get on the road again..." and can't wait for that PIE.  The diet starts AFTER spring break!
