Monday, May 23, Evergreen Park

So after our visit-to-Amana adventure we got back on the road with our mud-free car (sorry, Maile), and crossed the Mississippi and all of Illinois.  We arrived in Evergreen Park (which borders Chicago’s south side) in the evening, and had a late-ish dinner with Jan’s sister-in-law Maria, her daughter Lynn, and Lynn’s two kids, 15-year-old Johnny (he’s now six foot one and is usually addressed as “John”), and 11-year old Brianna.  Lynn’s brother Ray joined us when he got off work (he’s a Master Sergeant in the active Army Reserves), his house is right across the street, which is where we stayed during our time in Evergreen.

Maria & Jan, Ray
