Late start...And another late start
We got off to a late start this morning as we decided that we didn't have to leave quite as early as we thought. We were tired, and wanted to sleep in a bit. So, we got the final things packed up and pushed off at 9:30 AM. But, about 45 minutes later, Denise realized she had left her purse at home!
So, we turned around and got back home to get her purse. We ended up leaving again at 11:30 AM. This was much later than we thought, and we've been driving almost non-stop since, with just a couple of gasoline/rest breaks.
Right now, we are near Rochester and about 45 minutes from our first stopping point. We'll get there around 7:30 PM. This ended up being 10 hours of driving today, which is about as much as we'll ever do on this trip.
The kids have been great, and the time as gone by OK. Denise and I have switched off on the driving, and the kids have watched a movie, read some books, listened to music, and Ben even took a nap! Luckily, the kids don't get motion sick in the RV (at least so far).
Another day of driving tomorrow, and then a day to relax near Cleveland -- some good sights there like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and (nearby) the Football Hall of Fame).
