What a long day!!!! We will never, ever complain about Winnipeg traffic again!!!! Took us almost 2 hours to get around (not through) Chicago. Four to six lanes of traffic bumper to bumper at a snails pace. Decided to take a detour around Indianapolis as it was rush hour, so we took some state highways through some picturesque small towns. Very pretty but very slow too! With the hour lost to the time change it was a 12 hour day and we were all very glad to get out of the car.
We hope tomorrow brings easier traffic, but are very excited that we are 2/3 of the way there!
*Addition by Michelle: No interesting food tidbits for you today. Sorry mom. But guess what? I worked out today when we got to the hotel! 12 hours in the car made me a little squirrely. I needed to do something. But now I'm drinking a beer and popping cheese curds, so I'm balancing it all out.....
Some pics of our packed car, Dale plugging addresses in the GPS, Dorian doing what he does best, and me....just hanging around. :)

Sounds like a fun day of driving! Umm, Michelle, I'm going to need more food info. How do I know where I want to go if I don't know what the food is?
ReplyDeleteLOL! I love you Hilary!!!! Guess what they have in the lobby breakfast bar? Biscuits and gravy! Oh my lord. You know you're heading South when....
ReplyDeleteBiscuits and gravy for breakfast? I hope you guys have some walking tours planned! LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a good day!
It's great to hear you are having such a great time travelling. The trouble in travelling at this time of year is because a lot of people are doing the same thing you are, especially at the most important time for the Americans [July the 4th]. Tell Dorian we are proud of him especially since he allowed the haircut. Lots of Love,
