The Long Trek from Boston to Chicago..

We started off around noon, headed out for the two day trip from Boston to Chicago. We were determined to drive as far as we possibly could on Saturday, so we could have a easier trip on Sunday.

We drove straight through Rochester, and were very excited to have a quick stop in Tomas Flint's world. He invited us to his mother's house for a delicious dinner, and we enjoyed meeting his amazing gal, Kelli. We indulged in a leisurely home-cooked meal and a lot of after dinner entertainment provided by my favorite magician. I'll never get over watching people be amazed by Corey's magical powers.

Thank you guys SO much for your hospitality. That dinner was one of my favorites on the trip, hands down!



A quick group shot before we left...



And then we headed back on the road. We realized that we were going to pass very close to Niagra falls... so, we decided that it was worth the extra 20 minutes or so in order to see such an amazing natural wonder! The illumination was scheduled to turn off at midnight, and we pulled up at about 11:45. We rushed to the falls (in flipflops and un-coated, not realizing how amazingly cold it would be out there!) oohed and aahed a bit, and snapped a few shots... and then headed back! I love the images that Corey got. Just beautiful!





We pushed on through Pennsylvania and into Ohio before we stopped for the night! Thanks so much to Corey for being such a trooper and doing almost all of the driving for us!
