The Big Move: Day 9 (Wheeling, IL --> Bucyrus, OH)

We made it to Ohio!

The Big Move: Day 8 (Wheeling, IL & Milwaukee, WI)

Today we went up to Milwaukee, WI to visit the Milwaukee Museum of Art. On our drive there we stopped at a heron preserve (I think?). I got to see a lot of fantastic work, including a piece by Martin Puryear -- my favourite artist. There was also a photography exhibition of the work of Taryn Simon which was amazing. Also: I finally bought a typewriter! For $12!

The Big Move: Day 7 (Moline, IL --> Wheeling, IL)

We drove the short distance from Moline, IL to Wheeling, IL, stopping in the middle to have lunch with my grandma and her sister in Peoria, Illinois. After lunch we headed on up to Wheeling to stay with my cousin for a couple days. My cousin lives very close to this fantastic (and very long) forest preserve and Joel and I took a nice walk there. Then we went to Ryerson Woods with Heather (cousin), lovely.

The Big Move: Day 6 (Storm Lake IA --> Moline, IL)

Today we drove from Storm Lake, IA to Moline, IL, it was a day of mostly driving but near the end of the day we stopped at the University of Iowa (where I'm applying for grad school) and walked around the campus. We went right at Magic Hour too, which as always, makes for lovely photographs.
