Just Another Day

Hey guys! Posting from a Starbucks tonight. I was gonna take a picture for you, but my webcam's being all wonky, so I didn't bother. Maybe tomorrow!


Today was pretty awesome. We were already up north, so we weasled our way through a bunch of left turns and got to Chicago. We went to the Sears Tower and a couple other stereotypically touristy places, then headed east. It wasn't long until we were in Indiana. We saw a minor league baseball game for just five dollars per person, went to an IMAX movie, and somehow managed to make our way down to Indianapolis, where we went to the zoo. We've found another cheap hotel, but this one doesn't have the free wifi, which is why I'm in this Starbucks tonight. They close in a little while, so I'm trying to hurry through this post!


The tower was an adventure. Florence freaked out a little in the elevator on our way up, and I was kind of worried for a second that she was gonna faint; she didn't though, and she was fine once we get to the top and she saw that it wasn't like some exposed balcony or something. We bought a whole bunch of souvenirs, which meant that I got to add to my postcard and keychain collections. Quentin was pretty excited because, while we were wandering around looking for a good place to eat, we found a quaint little pawn shop. He collects dorky things like bottlecaps and old coins, so he got to add to some of his collections, too.


Thatcher thought the minor league game was the highlight of the day. Me and Florence are pretty typical girls, not all that into sports, but even we had a really good time. There's something a lot more personal about the game when you're only a few feet away from the players that makes it a lot more appealing. Thatcher also had a blast at the zoo, because he and some random teenage boys taught the monkeys how to make some pretty crude gestures. Boys are kind of dumb; or at least Thatcher is. Harper was pretty quiet all day. I think something's bothering him, but when he's ready to talk about it I'm sure I'll be the first to know. We are BFFs, after all.


Did you guys do  anything cool over the summer, by the way?


Well, I'm gonna finish my carmel macchiato and head back to the hotel before the Starbucks people run me off, or the guys get worried. I wish you all a good weekend, and I'll update you tomorrow!
