Bruce Goff




An amazing Bruce Goff exhibit is going on right now at The Art Institute. One of the best exhibits I have seen. 

Morning in Chicago

We woke up to a beautiful crisp morning and walked to coffee. We are headed to The Art Institute with our membership for members only hour and then getting "free" coffee in the members only cafe. Also I dont have my Members Only  jacket.

Rolling 3 Hours Late

It's 6:48pm and we are about an hour outside of Chicago if we don't hit commuter rail traffic. We were supposed to be in Chicago at 4:45. Dinner is going to be late but at least we got a sunset shot. 

The Trip is on Rails Now


We started planning this trip back in November, so long ago that I don't really remember all of the connection details. We do have a very detailed document we will use, but at this point we will just follow the directions we created months ago. This trip is now on rails both figuratively and literally for the moment. 

Anyone need shoes?

Red Wing Station in Red Wing MN. Home of the Red Wing shoe!

We have our seats and are on our our way to Chicago!  

How Do You Pack For A 3 Month Trip?


Very carefully.
