I got up early this morning and headed out to Peoria to see where my daughter and family are now calling home. Took me 4 hours and 45 minutes, all interstate so it was an easy drive. It was great to see them, even though I had just seen them over the 4th. I have been anxious to visit in Peoria and see the city they had chosen for their new home. It was much bigger than I had anticipated, around 185,000. For some reason I thought Peoria was a smaller town! Megan and the kids drove me all around and I saw where Drew and Kayley attend "school" and where Megan and Andy work for Caterpillar. She also took me around to look at the homes they have been looking at as possibilities. Hopefully they will get to move into a home soon. They are living in an extended stay hotel until that day. Tight quarters for four people. I am thinking they didn't need another body in here but I will be gone tomorrow! :-) I can see many trips to Peoria visiting Drew and Kayley in our future!
