It finally arrived--the departure day of our big road trip as a family! We started out from our house around 10am. We stopped once for uncle Kevin to have a bathroom break, then stopped for lunch in Bloomington, IL. We got gas here as well, and you got very upset (like meltdown level upset) because you wanted to use the gas station bathroom instead of the food place's one (we went to Fazoli's). After much fussing and the incentive of a big cookie, you finally got calm and enjoyed lunch with us.
We then hit the road again and made it all the way to Macon, MO at 4:30pm, where we met up with Nana Linda and Papa Junior to drop off Kevin so he could go visit them and his friends.
We continued on and stopped again in Chillicothe, MO for an afternoon treat at Dairy Queen. You got a hot fudge sundae and loved it (of course).
We ended up in Sioux City, IA to stay the night at the Howard Johnson here. It's a hotel that is under renovation right now, but the room seems pretty good. We've been watching Animaniacs on the TV thanks to the Netflix on Roku (installed on the TV). Nice!
Originally, we planned to go see Mt Rushmore tomorrow, but there's going to be a snowstorm there! Thus, plans are changed and we're going to take a more northern route to be sure to avoid the storm, We'll be in Miles City, MT tomorrow night :) Love you and very happy to be doing this trip with you!
