Day 1 - June 24
Leaving LaGrange 7:25 am...almost an hour later than planned...
10:45 (time changed hour ahead) first stop somewhere in IN. Made it out in 20 minutes...a new record.
Kids have entertained themselves with busy bags, snacks, coloring, ropes and superheroes...doing great.
12:40 Stopping for lunch at a travel plaza in OH...picnic packed. Back on the road at 1:25- another new record. Lunch stop in less than an hour! Ate in the shade at a table.
Stopped about 2:30 for gas because Eleanor had to pee. She went. Five minutes back on the interstate and she started yelling that she had to go again. This is what she does. It's like she really doesn't want to get there. Ugh.
Made it to Euclid and it's beautiful! Kids were in absolute heaven in Marj and Carolyn's backyard. Woods go on forever, tons of cool birds hang out by the multiple feeders, and there's even a dry creek bed (Ethan can't remember the word creek and keeps calling it a curd) to explore. We had a great Chinese dinner on the screened in porch, had a little baseball practice, and even had an ice cream birthday cake for Ethan...a couple days early. Kids went to bed and Will and I stayed up to watch the Hawks win the cup, very thankful they did it in regulation too! A great first day.
