Have a great Christmas and happy New Year! We finally made it to Carrie's parent's place late last night after some white-knuckled driving action from Chicago to Detroit. For awhile there it was looking like we might have to turn around and come back, but luckily the highways weren't too bad, at least until we arrived in Michigan. Jack is getting used to the idea of Christmas, so it ought to be extra fun this year.

While I'm in a festive mood, here are some pictures from our visit to the Chicago Botanic Gardens in late November to see the Wonderland Express model railroad exhibit:

As usual, more at the Flickr photo stream here. Merry Christmas!
