And on we go.


(Once again I kind of lied to you. I wrote this yesterday, but wasn't able to access the internet until this morning, so here's last night's post)

There's not a whole lot to report since we posted the blog for yesterday this afternoon. Before we left Grandma and Grandpa Bergman's house we did get to see another local celebrity appear on the Today Show. A guy from Defiance found a rare set of baseball cards from 1910 in his aunt's attic that were in excellent condition and worth millions of dollars.

After that we headed out to Naperville (outside of Chicago) to meet Ruth's friend, Ryan, for lunch. We almost didn't find the restaurant, but after walking up and down the streets of downtown Naperville with my cello in tow, Ryan finally found us and took us to a delicious Vietnamese restaurant. It was nice for me to meet him and he and Ruth had a nice visit. We of course forgot to get a picture with him for the blog. At least he is not as famous as Ned Garver...yet.

After lunch we headed North toward Wisconsin. I do not recommend driving through Milwaukee during rush hour on the day of a Brewer's game. That is all I care to say about that.

We got pretty behind schedule so we missed our chance to see the dress rehearsal of the St. John's church play, which Jim Klein directs. We did however get to have a good visit with Ruth's niece and nephew and their parents. It was nice for us to visit with Nick and Amanda and I really enjoyed meeting their kiddos. They are adorable and Rowan made the sounds of all the animals for us to help us study for playing the Biber Sonata on our concert.
