We made it!

We're here! Olivia and I left our house at 7:00 a.m. this morning and arrived in Stevens Point at 5:00 p.m. With the time change, it was an eleven hour journey. We stopped at Panera Bread in Kalamazoo for breakfast, and then drove to Aurora, IL, where we spent an hour at the Chicago Premium Outlets. It was a beautiful day, and it felt great to walk around. We had lunch at Jimmy Johns and then finished our drive. From Aurora, IL to Stevens Point, WI, it took us four hours. Not bad. All in all, the actual driving time was just a bit over nine hours.

Our hotel is definitely sufficient. It's a Comfort Suites. It's clean, has a kitchenette, nice pool and whirlpool and small workout room. It's conveniently located to the Rehab Center and directly across the street from the Green Circle Trail. I'm so glad we brought our bikes!

We drove around Stevens Point after we unpacked the car. Directly across the street from the Rehab Center, which is located in downtown Stevens Point, is Riverfront Park, which surrounds the Wisconsin River and is absolutely gorgeous. We walked a short way along the walking/bike trail, and then went and explored the town a bit more. We found another park, which is also along the river and rents canoes and kayaks. This is something we definitely want to to. We'll save this until Bob arrives here next weekend.

Well, tomorrow is an early day. Olivia's firs appointment is at 7:00 a.m., so we really need to get some sleep.

Lots more to come.
