We made it to Massachusetts! I loaded the car and drove to Colorado Springs on July 13th. We're calling this Day Zero, since the Great Adventure didn't really start until we had the third member of our party. The next day, Luke's mother and Ellie and I did our long day and drove to Omaha, Nebraska. Day Two wasn't supposed to be as long, but thanks to the longest 9 miles ever, it was another 10 hour day to Ottawa, IL. After that, we stopped just short of Cleveland, OH, and then on to Rochester, NY. This was our shortest day, and put us in town with enough of the afternoon left to visit the University of Rochester campus and eat at Jay's Diner, a favorite of mine and Luke's. We spent hours there talking during what we now consider our first date, and visited there after most big and small events during college. Now Ellie has been there too! She ate tomatoes and feta cheese. She is her father's daughter!
You can see our route here.
Ellie is a great traveler. She was very excited to get out of the car whenever we stopped, but unless she was hungry or sleepy, she didn't complain. Here are some highlights from our drive, and proof that we really did visit the following states: Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, New York, and Massachusetts.
(Pictures soon, I promise!)
