Day 2: Ohio to Iowa

Port Clinton, Ohio to Cedar Rapids, IA


First of all, we discovered my road nickname (below). For those of you who are not familiar, Johnny calls me Chief (or Big Chief), so this sign was VERY exciting to find. All things are relative.



Today's start time: 6am. We wanted to get out of Ohio in a HURRY.

First stop: RV Museum Hall of Fame. So awesome!
We got to see RVs from 1930-1970. I loved picturing American families traveling across the country in these! We also had a lot of fun taking pictures in them :)








The distance we have covered so far (per Mama Chief's request):

The scenery: For the most part, it was endless cornfields which prompted some jokes to be sent our way...

Q: Why shouldn't you tell a secret on a farm?
 A: Because the potatoes have eyes and the corn has ears. 


Q: Why didn't anyone laugh at the gardener's jokes?
 A: Because they were too corny! 




 Today's music/entertainment: Country radio, Best of the 90's (AGAIN), Jim Gaffagan skits, calls with Mom, Dad, Ellen and Genie.



What we laughed about: Everything. We are exhausted.

Reaching our destination:  We finally reached Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Here is a pic in front of Cedar River and another of us having a much deserved beer! I'll update from South Dakota tomorrow. We miss you all very much- it feels more monumental to drive slowly away from the East Coast, rather than flying. Road Chief signing off. XOXO
