how we spent valentines day

We spent the day taking a trip to see our son, dil and granddaughter.

I'll take you on a photo journey of some of the things we passed along the way.  The sun was shinning but there was a bit of a haze in the air.  Some of the photos I got out of the car and some are drive-bys.

This cow used to sit in the center of the intersection which is a 5-way stop.  It has been moved and now sits off to the side at the intersection.

Illinois is a pretty flat state.  This next photo you can see for quite a ways away and at least 4 farms are in sight.

We went off the beaten path and just drove down the road.

We came upon this beautiful church with a cemetery along side it.

Illinois hasn't upgraded their telephone poles much.

They look like dead trees.

What???  Is that an airport windsock we see?

By golly it's an airport.

But, not a very big airport.

We passed many old barns along the way.

Our destination.

Someone was very excited to see us and wanted to play.

After a wonderful lunch and visit we headed home. 

One last picture taken on our way home. 

The sun was going down as you can see.

A beautiful Valentines Day we had.

How was your day?

How sweet that you can take a quick trip to spend time with the kids! Love all the pics of the rural area. It's neat to see how some things don't change much.
