It is 10:45 Chicago time (11:45 Gettysburg time!) and we are *finally* settled in at our hotel - the staff should be doing bed checks as I write this! It has been a looooonnnng day - but also a great day! We started loading the buses at about 4:30 am in Gettysburg, and were off at about 5. As you can probably imagine, many of us were asleep for the better part of the morning!
Just before noon, we stopped in Ohio to pick up our second set of bus drivers (who will stay with us through the trip - the first guys were just getting us started) - Monty and Tim. We were all happy to see Monty again, as he was one of our bus drivers when we traveled to Toronto in 2014!
Just after 6pm Chicago time, we arrived in Chicago for a great dinner at Connie's Pizza. More on that later.
There is so much to write - about camp in Gettysburg, our concert Wednesday evening, our fabulous deep dish pizza tonight... and I will catch you up on all of that tomorrow, after I have gotten a good night's sleep. Meanwhile, I have realized that my computer clock didn't automatically update and it is actually 10pm Chicago time - so hopefully the kids are still having fun exploring the hotel.
I shall leave you with a picture or two of our great dinner (many more pictures to come tomorrow....stay tuned!):
