Almost Through 5 States

When I woke up we were in Ohio. All today we made it through Indiana and almost out of Illinois. The goal was to get to our camp site in Missouri by 10 p.m. But we ran into a huge traffic jam, so now we're pulled over in a Walmart parking lot. We took advantage of walking around in an air conditioned building and getting some little things for dinner while my grandpa could finally get some sleep.

I already finished one book and now I'm a quarter through the next, but I brought 5 with me so I have bit bit more to go. That's basically what I've been occupying myself with this whole time. The city side of Ohio was really foggy and there was a lot of old bridges there. But the country side was just simple; completely flat and covered with corn fields.

We're an hour behind the New York time right now. I'm not sure how hot it was there today, but I was over heated in a t-shirt and shorts at 5 p.m. here. It will take another 4 1/2 hours to get to our camp site, so we might get there at 2 a.m. if we leave after dinner.

  1. Don't you just love traffic jams? It kept me and my family on our way from Buffalo on a highway for about 3 hours. We ended up having to exit the highway and take a country side route. It took us 10 hours to get home from a 3 hour drive.


    And you already started reading? I didn't even buy the books yet haha..I will probably start in August.
