Home stretch!

Our last day we slept in and headed out on the last drive! We made it back to the city and up to CT! Its been quite an adventure and we've learned a lot about this country and our own capacity for endurance.

Pennsylvania

We pulled off the highway to fill up on gas. We grabbed the penny saver magazine and realized there wasnt another area with hotels for awhile. We found a coupon for the hampton inn nearby and were disappointed on arrival to find that the jacuzzi we were looking forward to was out of order. We were too tired though to bother finding a different place. We also were surprised and let down to find there was no movie theater in the area! We settled in and fell asleep early.

Ahoy Ohio!

We dragged ourselves out of bed at Alixs house and hit the road late morning. I drove 4 hours eastward passing through southern Illinois, nodding towards Chicago which we didnt have time to visit. We headed on to Indiana and continued through the scenery of farmland and cows. Ohio greeted us in the early evening and Alix took over until midnight. I fell asleep, apparently waking up once to ask Alix where we were to which she answered "on our way!". We got to her aunts house around 12:30 in the morning and settled in for the night.

A day to relax

We tasted food channel worthy cupcakes at Jillys, were treated to massages to relax our sore backs. I had lunch with a friend from college and dinner with my cousin David! Then we a
spent the evening with Alix's friends for the St louis balloon glow!

St louis!

Arrival! We made it to Alixs house just after dark. Wilson, the german shephard was eager to see her and bounded around with his plush toy.

On to St Louis!

Didnt see much more than fast food, a few Christian billboards, barren sun tanned cornfields and cows for several hours.




We listened to a chapter of an audiobook we picked up, but quickly turned it off as I started yawning.




The highway was only two lanes and we played tag with tractor trailers as we zoomed into the wild East.




Just 200 miles to the st louis! We continued our migration and passed halfway!
