Our Last Few Days

The next day Joshua went by himself to Chicago. We got up early to beat the traffic in Chicago and ate breakfast together. Then I sent him on his way. Joshua made good time getting to Chicago. The first stop was Michael Darton's, a fellow violin maker, shop. Unfortunately Michael was sick with the stomach flu so Joshua could not see him, but was able to take pictures and have a look at the shop. Then Joshua traveled to the CPR shops. He spent a majority of the day at the two shops, partly because Jay and Ann wanted to do something with us the next day since Ann had the day off. Joshua ended up coming home late that night and we soon headed for bed. What did I do? I relaxed, went on a short walk, took a nap, and worked on some crafts.
Our last full day in Indiana was spent sleeping in and then eating breakfast with Jay and Ann. They wanted to take us to a violin shop that they found in a nearby town, so we headed down that way. Joshua had a good conversation with the maker there and Jay and Ann learned alot. After we left the shop, we headed towards Jay and Ann's sons house to see a violin that belonged to Ann's mom. Joshua played it and they all enjoyed that. It was getting late and we all needed to eat lunch so we soon headed home. We did not eat much since we were going to go out to eat for dinner. Joshua and I started to pack our suitcase and get ready for our trip home. We were so excited and ready to go home, especially since the kids had gotten sick while we were gone. Then we went out to eat and looked around at the gift shop. I bought two shirts for the boys. We did not stay up late since we had to get up early to head on our way to the airport.

P.S. Sorry I did not take any pictures during this time.
