go cubbies

Summer vacation 2009 was quite the adventure......
road trip to chicago w/ my parents and grandparents and brother todd! (yes, 7 people in a suburban.)
Kyle got to experience first hand the excitement of a Deetjen Road Trip.
These road trips are characterized by super fast and also very infrequent pit stops. Dad believes in setting mileage records.
Not once, but twice.... Kyle was accidentally left at the gas station. I'm being serious. We turned the suburban around twice b/c I had to inform dad that Kyle was left behind. These really are lightning fast pit stops.
while in chicago we:
- stayed downtown at hotel monoco!
- ate some deep dish pizza
- shopped the magnificient mile
- went to a cubbies game at wrigley field
- spent all day saturday at the 'deetjen family reunion'... over 100 people that are my relatives, most of whom i had never met! but we all have the same great great grandfather. So much in common!

after chicago, the road trip continued south to table rock lake! kyle really did improve on his pit stop speed. At the lake, we met up w/ beck/greg/tomtom!
We wakeboarded, ate a ton, saw an incredible lightning storm, and played lots of guitar hero!

Fabulous trip! Fabulous family!
