It was a longer day than I thought it would be today. I think the closer this trip comes to being over the more I am slowing down a bit. That said, Dudley is ready to be done and out of the car! He is starting to get jumpy, and while he is a super sweet dog, any animal stuck in a car for a week would get a bit edgy.
We left Wisconsin and very quickly found ourselves on the way to Chicago. It was the first time I have seen Chicago outside of the airport and I discovered that Chicago really is a beautiful city. I didn't stop to play, but got a good look at it from the road and quickly added it to my list of places of must see cities. Any city by the water is a city I want to see. It really does look quite welcoming.
My only struggle today was not being aware of the unbelievable number of tolls that the state requires travelers to pay just to use the freeway! I had no idea and had just enough cash to make it through the state.
Anyway, we made it through Illinois and it took the remainder of the day to get through Ohio, which is where we are now. A few miles outside of Cleveland, we made it to Elyria just before sunset and have settled in for the night.
Tomorrow is our last day along this crazy trip we are taking. It should be a shorter day on the road (I'm sure I'll find a way to stretch it out a bit) and we should arrive at our new house before sunset. It'll be good to get to our new house and get a feel for our surroundings.
