New discoveries, old friends in Chicago

Chicago gets the distinct honor of being the one city on this trip in which we spend an extra day.

Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry can’t really be done in one day. Yet we tried. We spent six hours there today, and it was indeed a fantastic day.

Imagine our shock at discovering, in the middle of a famous Chicago museum, the Seattle skyline! For some reason, Seattle was chosen as a coveted city to build a fictional railroad into and out of.

We are staying two nights with our friends the Smedleys. Tonight they invited our longtime friends and ministry colleagues Dent Davidson and Jim Paddleford, plus new friends Jim and Tom, to join us all for dinner. Alas, Jeff and Lisa Lee couldn’t make it after all, but we hope to see them next time around.

Tomorrow we head for Minneapolis, and we may see more old friends along the way—we’ll see how the timing goes.
