First day

On the first day of driving, we left our old house in Cincinnati around 11:30 A.M. ( Cincy time). And off on our journey we went! In Indiana we sat in traffic for over 45 minutes because a car caught on fire. In Illinois we passed Le Roy, Illinois (the only reason we remembered this was because it rhymed). We also learned in Illinois that Nick and Dad can't use a walkie talkie (even though they eventually "got it down"). As well as, that Molly gets slap-happy when she has to pee in the middle of nowhere and has been in car for 8 hours without sleep. Go figure. Next on our list was Iowa... After we drove for a little bit, we went to Cracker Barrel for dinner. Nothing a little fried chicken and mashed potatoes can't fix. After that we drove a little longer, to try to find a hotel, to spend the night at. On our way there we passed the worlds largest truck stop (in all honesty it didn't look that big, but we really didn't see it that well). We ended the first night at Country Inn & Suites in what we think was Iowa City (Mom's phone was calling in something wierd, so we aren't entirely sure). We ended our night around 12:00 P.M. Cincy time and drove around 470 miles in total. Overall, it wasn't that bad of a day or at least better than we expected.

Until next time,
