From Niagara Falls we drove across lower Ontario to Jackson, MI today. Pretty easy drive until the very end when lots of construction taffic slowed us down a bit. I love the traffic feature of the new Garmin nuvi series. It re-routed us around some back-ups and we saved at least 45min. This was awesome because it gave us more time to hang out at my sister’s house with my Mom, brother –in-law and twin nephews! It was so wonderful to see all of them again, and the kids had a fantastic time playing together. Even Sophie had a big smile on her face as she was able to run free around the back yard.
From Michigan we hit three more states as we swooped down through Indiana and around Chicago to our campground in Wisconsin. Wisconsin, you may know, is the birthplace of the RV and our camp this night is really nice. It is well manicured, has all the amenities, and even has a hot tub for the adults! This is the first place we have stayed that I did not have to put leveling blocks under the wheels to make sure the rig was level on our site, pretty impressive!
Tomorrow we will push on through Madison, WI and on into Minnesota. Talk to you all soon!
From Cate: The answer to the brain teaser is to let some air out of the tires!
