Our Stay in Naperville, IL

Illinois

March - April 2025

Back to Family and Friends

On March 16th, we locked the door early once more. We walked a short way to the Blauwe Brug and caught the first bus to the station. While waiting, I noticed I had lost the blanket somewhere along the way. There was no time to go back since bus 74 was already arriving.

The rest of the trip by train and plane went smoothly, and soon we arrived at O’Hare with Hemmes and our suitcase. Hans was there to pick us up, and we drove home to a warm family welcome. After a quick meal, we headed to the hotel for an early night. The next day, my babysitting weeks began, starting with our grandson and then the pets, while the young parents and their toddler enjoyed a vacation in Florida.

With over three weeks, we had plenty of time to get used to the time zone and weather. Busy days with an energetic toddler, along with nice coffee dates with old friends, made for a smooth return to our nomadic life in the States.
