Jacksonville, Illinois
Once again we have arrived at the time of year in northern Illinois when the
weather becomes too cold for our aging bodies to tolerate. Time for us to head
to a warmer climate for the winter season. This season we will travel to the
southwest to spend the winter months near Yuma, Arizona. Every other winter
season we alternate between Florida and Arizona. This season, we look forward to
returning to the scenic beauty and vastness of the southwestern Arizona desert.
Our little traveling companion “Bella” is anxious to explore new territory. This
will be her first trip to the southwest. Bella is a 10 year old, 15 lb., shih
tzu mix that we adopted in October 2017. She is such a sweet little dog and has
brought so much joy into our lives. We just love her to pieces!
We depart Chicago under a sunny sky, with mild temperatures in the mid 40s.
Bella snuggles in between us as we travel south on I-55 to our first
destination. We will spend two nights in Jacksonville, Illinois where we will
visit with Sharon's brother and sisters.
Tomorrow another adventure begins.
