Once when my kids were small we went to Springfield Illinois for a long weekend. It was a spur of the moment thing so no reservation , we got there to find out it was the weekend of the state fair. Every room was booked up all over town. We ended up in some small hick town with a 1 , 4 and 5 year old and were invaded mu big black bugs. I could not wait to get home
Another trip was to Galena Il, my 4 year old was very cranky and I could not figure out why. A day and a half later she broke out in Chicken pox. We left the next morning with the 4 & 1 year old laying on me vomiting and crying all the way home
