Back Where it all Began

Six months later and a very long travel day, we were back in the very place that it all started.   Welcome to Rockford, Illinois! 

It’s amazing how far we have come.  Just to think that without the experiences we had the first time we were here, we would not have the stories to tell that we do today.  It may not be the most entertaining place on the world, but it definitely brought us all closer together.  And to say that we were not all a little excited to go back would be an understatement. 

We all knew that we would at least have a decent week to catch up on some much needed sleep.  Also, already being here once, gave us all some comfort, knowing just what to expect and how close everything was.

I will say though, it is amazing how different times of year and weather can affect a place and how it appears.  Seeing Rockford in the summer time when we were able to sit down on the dock and go for a walk in the park is completely different than seeing everything covered in snow and ice. 

It may not be the number place to see in the world, but it will definitely have a special place in everyone’s memories and it will always be the place that we all started this year together. 

We have come this far, and there is no slowing down now!

See you in the Steel City!
