Today we drove and drove and drove. We got a very late start, shortly after 11am, and made it to Nashville, TN shortly before 11pm tonight. We visited five states (KS, MO, IL, KY, and TN) and managed to dodge any bad weather.
Ready to begin at last! Huge props to Will for doing all of the heavy listing to get us ready.
We had such a late start that we were able to meet Nonnie and Pa in Bonner Springs for lunch (and return some of the items left from Nonnie's trip).
Crossing the Mississippi River from Missouri into Illinois in St. Louis. This is a new bridge on the interstate, and you no longer go right by the Arch.
We rented 4 Redbox movies at the beginning of the day and the kids had watched them all by the end. No secret why they are such great travelers...
Dinner at Dairy Queen! In IL near the KY border.
The Ohio River, crossing into Kentucky.
Super blurry KY welcome sign. When we passed through Padacah, D thought we were in Las Vegas.
Next state up - Tennessee!
Downtown Nashville.
Kids were zonked out by this point.
Made it to our hotel a little before 11pm! Everyone climbed straight in bed.
We hope to get an earlier start tomorrow so that we get to Orlando at a decent time. Sweet dreams!
