Sister road trip

It's not every week that you drive and stop in Orlando, FL --> Atlanta, GA --> Chattanooga, TN --> Knoxville, TN --> Lexington, KY  --> Cincinnati, OH  --> Indianapolis, IN --> Chicago, IL all in 36 hours.

After not having spent a lot of time together over the past few months, Maria, Eleni and I had a fun time driving back home: we caught up, took turns driving, slept and learned new things- like how to put oil in the car. They were even flexible on making stops, so we had the pleasure of reuniting with plenty of friends and family members on the way. Check the journey out!
When the drive started like this, I was terrified.
First stop: Meeting up with Stepheno from Project Mexico and his girlfriend Marina in Atlanta
After spending the night in Chattanooga, Andrew took us to the International Biscuit Festival in downtown Knoxville, TN.
We met Dani at Rupp Arena in Lexington, KY - where she recently moved!
Saturday afternoon, we made it to our Thea Jeanie's house outside of Cincinnati to spend time with our cousins Megan, Courtney & Drew! Oddly enough, we had to drive through Indiana to get to her Ohio house from Kentucky.
Next, we surprised Yiayia at the nursing home and brought her Skyline Chili + United Dairy Farmers ice cream.
We ended the night in Cincinnati stopping by Thea Julie's to see our cousin Jillian, since her sister Christina was at Prom. 
Despite a few weeks of craziness, we made it back to Chicago alive and to Wrigleyville Sunday afternoon for the Brewers-Cubs game with the Milwaukee Greek crew. Fun week!
