Monday and Tuesday, September 24-25.  Enjoying the Illinois countryside.

On Monday, Andrea and Ellie first returned to the Lincoln Museum.  After lunch, we drove about 1.5 hours to the village of Arthur, the center of the Amish community in Illinois.  We spent part of the afternoon at The Great Pumpkin Patch.  Fall colors and produce are hard to find in Arizona, so Andrea enjoyed all the pumpkins and other fall displays.


On Tuesday, we followed a CD tour of the Amish area around Arthur -- beautiful farms and country scenery.  We then drove back to Ann Arbor, and Andrea flew home to Arizona on Wednesday.  We are already planning our Road Scholar adventure for next year!
