Well the good news is that I am now a mother of a doctor. Wow!!
We left Minnesota on June 1 to attend Adams graduation ceremonies on the 3rd. Everything was going along fine until just south of Madison, a semi trailer blew a tire right in front of us and threw a six foot piece of rubber back at our Motorhome. It caused some damage which we will have to take care of when we get home. After Lud did a little pounding and a two hour delay, we were able to continue our trip.
We stayed at a very nice campground in Sycamore, Il. It is about an hour and a half from Chicago. This was the closest campground I could find. After lounging around for a day and touring Sycamore we attended a reception on the navy pier on the 3rd of June. Since my son got the time wrong and it took much longer than expected to get to Chicago we did not spend much time at the reception but it was nice to meet some of Adams fellow doctors. Got home that night at 11:30 and had to be back on the road at 6:30 the next day.
On the 4th we took a better route into Chicago and got there in under two hours. The graduation ceremony was really fun and it really sends a chill down your spine when you hear your kid introduced as Doctor Adam Sunderland. Mom got a little teary eyed. After the ceremony we all went to a Greek Restaurant and had a family style meal. Yum. Adam was impressed with the pen I gave him that I had made at the woodshop at Winter Ranch. I bet he didn't get anything like that from anyone else but he still probably liked the check better.
The ride home from the graduation ceremony was unbelievable it took us almost three hours. I don't know how the people living in Chicago can stand that commute. Thank god Adam is moving to Detroit where the traffic is suppose to be much better because everyone has move out.
Our return trip on June 6th to Minnesota was uneventful.
