Almost there! We have made it to Columbus, IN. We have 1 medium day and 1 short day left. Yesterday we left Homewood Suites in Sioux Falls, SD and drove 6+ hours to Wisconsin. We stopped to see friends. It was so good to see get this break in the middle of our journey. It was so nice to be in a home (even if it wasn't our own). It was nice to sit on a couch at night and talk to friends and to watch a little news. It was great to get to do a load of laundry. It was so nice to have two home made "comfort food" meals (chicken pot-pie, and breakfast casserole). It was even better to let C see and play with old friends. This morning, once we were all repacked, we headed over to a park to let the kids play and get out some energy for about a half hour. It was a perfect stop. :) Thanks again Rainbow and Chris for your amazing kindness and hospitality.
This afternoon we drove 4 and a half hours and arrived in Columbus which is right outside of Indianapolis. We are staying at one of the nicest La Quintas that I've ever stayed in: Super clean and modern decor, comfortable beds, nice staff, free wifi and breakfast, and good military rate.
How are Duke and C? Well Duke is such a great dog. He is very popular with everyone when we stop and he has quietly slept/laid on his bed pretty much the entire way. We let him out every time we stop, no matter what, and let him go potty and give him water. He has a bed in the back of my SUV and we bring it into the hotels every night. C is doing really well too, especially considering her age. I have different toys/activities for her to do each day to keep her busy. We have a dvd player and ipad in my car which we try to save till the end of each day when she has run through all of the toys and games and we are desperate to make it the last 45 min to an hour without a break down. So far so good. At night I've been taking her to the hotel pools and letter her swim for 20 or so min. She's having a ball.
On to Asheville tomorrow. I'm going to take mom and C to Montreat tomorrow night or Thursday morning. Love it there! Great park and little fresh mountain stream to play in...fun will be had.
C is taking an interest in using my camera. She captured these pics of Duke from her level. :)
The Mississippi I think.
Fun at the park with friends.
Finally passed out after fighting it for a while. Then woke up and asked for headphones and went back to sleep. Too funny.
Pool time at the hotel.
