I had been trying to plan a trip to visit my Aunt Jane and my Aunt Jean in Illinois for awhile. Eventually, I heard that one of them was having dizzy spells and other health problems. I figured that now would be better than later to go -- even if it was in the middle of summer time. Ro will be starting pre-kindergarten in a few weeks and airplane tickets were just going to get more expensive until next February. Day 1: We left Fresno Saturday just before noon. Ro was raring to go on the trip until he realized how long it was going to be. It didn't hit him until we got on the ramp to go from 99N to 152W. Then he needed to use the bathroom and we tried to use a side road to convince Ro to go to the bathroom next to the road. He's told us jubilantly before that one of the grandmas let him pee on a tree, but he just couldn't pee or defecate on the ground next to the car. We packed him back into the car until we exited...
