road trip 2011: the way out

Hello, West Virginia!

  

What’s up, Ohio?

Thank you for the beautiful sunset!

    

Buddy, this is just the first day. We’ve got a loooong way to go…. 

You don’t need money, don’t need fame, don’t need no credit card… we got a free month of xm radio on my husband’s phone and it was a lifesaver while the kids were watching their movies in the back with headphones..

Good Morning, Indy!

     We had never eaten at a

How come no one ever told me about this place?? Yummmmmm. So wish we had one in VA.

Well, hello Illinois!

Road Trip Bingo. We got everything but a runner. Not too many of those on the Interstate…the kids wanted to yell at a construction guy to run for them :)

My husband woke me up just in time to catch the corner of the Iowa sign…

Bless you people in Iowa with all of the flooding. We couldn’t believe it. Our favorite hotel of the whole trip was in Sioux City.

Someone bought some goggles from the store…

So many cool bridges!

and beautiful flags flying

and corn and windmills. 

South Dakota! I didn’t get a state sign picture, but we had fun at Wall Drug

He just wanted me to tickle his feet again and again and again…

Mt. Rushmore was so, so cool.

And, I have to say our FAVORITE sign was: almost to Grandma & Grandpas!!

Did we pass by any of you along the way??
