Another long day on the road but we are here and settled in at the R.V. park in Granite City, Illinois. We had breakfast at Bob Evans in Grafton, Ohio and lunch at Bob Evans in a city we don't recall the name of...Pete is BBQing tonite...as you can see we are not going hungry! My highlight of the day was this huge cross on the side of the road where highways 57 & 70 meet...it's called "Cross at the Crossroads" and is the largest cross in the world, 198 feet t...

Said our tearful goodbyes this morning at 7:30 a.m. and headed out to Grafton, Ohio. Don't know a sole here it's just our rest shop. After a day of pretty good weather, it rained a little, we pulled into the R V park at 5:45 p.m.. Though we share driving it's still a long day and to be honest Pete drives most of the time. We traveled through Vermont, New York, and Pennsylvania. We saw Lake Erie and the famed Erie Canal. I'm amazed you go a few hundred miles and l...

We bought all kinds of silly things but also some great cheeses and candy. Picked up surprise gifts for the kids...make your own rubber band jump rope for Olivia...

Tonight Kelley, Olivia & I are getting our nails done ( four weeks...

Well yesterday was a 12 hour driving day from Alexandria to Plymouth, New Hampshire. It didn't calculate that long but we found ourselves on a throughway that had bridges to low for us to pass under...had to reroute , but we made it. Beautiful R V park...we back up to a brook and are among the most beautiful birch trees. Went on an adventure today on the Old Cog Train, that took us up to the highest point in the eastern area in the White Mountains. There was stil...
