Today was another long haul. We passed through Indianapolis, IN and Columbus, OH as we continued towards Washington, D.C. While passing through Indianapolis we took the opportunity to search out the famous raceway home to the Indy 500. Although we were not very impressed with the surrounding town, the raceway was gigantic.
Public Service Announcement #2: Dear McDonald's Executives, your establishment near the Indianapolis Speedway needs some attention. Love, us.
Cassie and I were excited to enter into Ohio and into our final time zone. This great state is home to Cassie's mom and dad (Hi!) and other family. Although we are not stopping by today to chat with the family, we will see Don and Dana in Niagara in just a few days.
Our first big destination since the Grand Canyon will be Washington, D.C. We are going to be pulling into our nation's capital late tonight and spending all day tomorrow touring our rich history. What's the best way to see a famous city in a small amount of time? Get a guide of course! Fortunately for us, one of our best friends from high school is living the American political dream in D.C. and will be escorting us through the National Mall. Who's the best? Geoff, that's who! So, readers, expect many more photos in the next day or so as Cassie and I take over D.C!
Things we have learned so far:
1. Nicci does not like to drive in bad weather. Cassie was overjoyed to do so because it meant a free car wash.
2. Cassie does not like to drive in unfamiliar cities at night. Nicci thought the old buildings and graffiti in St. Louis were rather charming and had a great time.
Post Script: We have had some issue with establishing an internet connection with my laptop at our various stops. There might be a delay between posts and replies. Hang in there, we'll update you one way or another. Until then, enjoy some photo highlights from today!
Looks like you two are having a great time! Can't wait to see you!
