Day 10 we spent mostly in the car. We drove to Sioux Falls, had lunch at the park, and walked around. We visited a tiny aquarium and butterfly house, found a Starbucks (yay), then headed over to the Mitchell KOA in Mitchell South Dakota. Quick set up, a hop in the pool then pasta withContinue Reading Day 10 South Dakota, 1/3
The terrain is changing again. Where just yesterday we drove through endless flat cornfields, today we see hills and much more greenery. More “rolling plains” if you will. The Dells are quite neat. Also – this area has the largest concentration of Water Parks in the country. Who knew!? And also why? It seems likeContinue Reading Day 8 Wisconsin Dells
Day 7 was a slow and lazy day, but just what the kids needed. We got out of dodge around 9 and headed to the Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington, IL. It was a small zoo and we walked around for about an hour. Then we hit Steak & Shake (whoa) on the way toContinue Reading Day 7 Illinois

To start,Continue Reading Day 6 Children’s Museum of Indianapolis

The place was expansive. Four aircraft hangers full of hundreds and hundreds of aircraft. I’m pretty sure Tucker’s mouth was open in aweContinue Reading Day 5 – National Museum of the US Air Force, OHIO

We headed out of PA through some wet weather and straight to Downtown Cleveland where we visited the Great Lakes Science Center. This museum wasContinue Reading Day 4 Great Lakes Science Center – OHIO

We stopped for groceries and then again for lunch along the way for our first of many PB&J meals. Everyone was happy to getContinue Reading Day 2 New York Finger Lakes Region
