05/15-16/2007 End of Trip 1
After a night in Des Moines , the group decided to drive me home to DeKalb on Tuesday (I was originally scheduled for a Sunday flight out of Dallas-Fort Worth). After we got settled in at my house, we decided to go to Wisconsin – for a few in the group, this was their first excursion to the Badger State . The (removed b/c of crybaby culture) group, Sharon, and I first stopped in at Beloit , WI and then drove south to Rockford to enjoy some Chicago -style deep dish pizza at Giordano’s. After way too much deep dish, we all got some sleep back at my house in DeKalb.

Wish it were better...our April wishcast hasn't come true yet for a wild last half of May. Hoping your next trip is better. At least we were on a supercell with a TOR last month...
