Just bring them and if they don't fit, they can drive in back with a rental.

The 1st leg is designed and the 2nd leg is in the works. We will end up somewhere for lunch, nothing fancy, just good food with good friends.

Well, went to Little Rock, AR at the end of July for soccer nationals, then to MITM3 in Colorado August 6-10, and then to Fayette, IA and back last weekend to see daughter #2 play her first college game. Tommy has thus logged close to 60 hrs passenger seat time (so I think he is cashed) and we have done close to or over 5,000 miles and have two new window chips to show for it. So we are a "maybe" for saturday.

I'll be pulling PoliceMagnet out of the garage for the first time in two weeks for this drive! Might be my last drive in Chicagoland before heading to Massachusetts.

Looks like it's going to be a Dog Day for the event, but dry and full of fun.

All are welcome and Karen is looking forward to showing you all her new puppy.

It was a fun outing with some new MINI Friends. Thanks to Patrick MINI for hosting and feeding us in the morning. I know many of you wanted to be there and had to miss it, I hope to see you all soon.
