Our Saturday in the U.S.

By Laura

Here are a few pictures and descriptions of our Saturday in the States!

We went to get a free car wash and breakfast on Saturday at Grandpa's car dealership.
(Only in America, right?)  Quite a line of cars waiting !!!

So since the wait was long, Mom and I decided to go see what interesting things there were in downtown Springfield.

Like the capital building!

 I liked this door handle.

We saw an old fire house and thought it was cool.

Cute church

Illinois State Library 

Old State Capitol

At the breakfast (served in the showroom) there were some Porsches. 

My younger brothers would have loved to see this one !!!

After breakfast, with the car nice and clean, we took a picture with the very funny and efficient workers.

Then we went to the Lincoln museum. It was really cool!

The Lincoln family. (and a couple intruders.)

Outside the museum we saw this building that used to be a train station.

On our way home we went to see Lincoln family home for 17 years in Springfield.

Also on the way home, the governor's mansion.

Stay tuned for more U.S.A. pictures !!! ;-)

Trip to the U.S.A !!

by Laura

Hello Everyone! This post is about a trip to the States ! Because yes, my Mom and I went the the States for a week! Unfortunately, the reason for our trip wasn't a happy one. We went to spend time with my grandpa who recently lost his wife who went to be with the Lord. So we went to try and cheer him up.
Here are a few pics of the beginning of our trip!

At the airport.

Goodbye France !

And hello England.

My first Coffee all to myself ! hmm :-)

Landing in Chicago.

On the way to Grandpa's house we stopped at "Woody's Truck Stop."

Grandpa being silly with my "beanie."(as Grandpa calls it.)

A few other posts will follow with other pics of the trip !!
