To Toronto

The weather was great for the start of our trip and we flew to Springfield. We had a pancake breakfast at the airport and borrowed a car to go to the capital. We were also told that Lincoln's toumb was in town, so we decided to stop there also. The picture below is the Illinois capital building (our 16th capital). The picture below that is of the Lincoln statue in front of the capital building.

The next stop was Lincoln's tomb. The four photos show the memorial, Hannah in front of the statue in front of the memorial, the entryway of the toumb and the toumb itself.

After Springfield, we tried to get to Lansing, MI but thunderstorms kept us from getting there. Instead, we stopped in Ann Arbor and grabbed some lunch while waiting for the storms to pass. We called customs by phone before we left and flew to Toronto City Center airport, on a small island directly across from Toronto. The photo shows Hannah on the short ferry ride from the island.

Dan went to the ICCR meeting while Hannah waited around the hotel room and read/watched TV. We did get a chance to go out to lunch and dinner and there was a 1/2 day out on the island as part of the conference. Jennifer flew in on Tuesday night, so Hannah and Jennifer got to hang out on Wednesday and do some shopping and sightseeing. Next post: The trip to Bar Harbor!
