Opening Day


Hello Hello (followed by the Warner wave hello-Ryan)! So far the travels have been smooth going. We started at 4:50am in thick fog but made great time to Vermilion, OH. In our short-lived 6 hours of driving we have already completed mad-libs, part of a book on tape and of course shared plenty of laughs. We even discussed Ryan's "air-conditioned house" (inside joke for the family). In addition, Ryan and I will be recording all of the different license plates we see. So far we have 10. Anyways, Vermilion is a small boating community with beautiful harbors and interesting stores. In fact, there is a store that sells only clothing made from alpaca wool....We made it to Mackenzie's house where we ate lunch (Thanks!) and caught up with the Williams. They made a fair number of attempts to convince Ryan and I to stay the night in Cleveland. Apparently "CLEVELAND ROCKS!"-Drew Carey.

Needless to say, we did not give in and are on our way to Chicago to meet up with Sutton. Ryan is now driving and is having some difficulty coping with the GPS navigation system....Ryan speaks to the GPS-"Hold on, I have to wait for the light." haha More to Come later!

PS. It's starting to get really flat

  1. I love that you guys are recording license plates. Many a time while we're driving Ryan will say something random and I'll have no idea what he's talking about....then I find out that he's reading a license plate. Maybe you could signal them to pull over and then photograph them; then you can compile a book and make millions for other road trips.
