So Long Iowa!

I'm off to see my best girls this weekend in Chicago. I'll be hitting the road around noon, enjoying loud tunes and rolling hillsides and 5 hours of alone time in the car. Never mind the fact that the cruise control ceased working. I'm going to swing by Oak Park and pick up Kristina, and then we'll meet Jessica at our hotel downtown. We'll be discussing great things--everything in our hearts on display. And then we'll dance and get to bed late and get up too early to make our way to Kristina's house in Oak Park, where the St. Patty's parade and festivities will be taking place. These are the bones of my weekend. A getaway that is overdue and much welcomed.
 Look how young we were! This was the first of our girls weekends in Milwaukee--8 years ago.
 Another Milwaukee trip. We've been doing weekends like this at least twice a year for the last 8 years.
 The last time we were all together in Chicago--last spring.
Kristina was with us in spirit here in Madison last fall.
