Mile 0, 8000 to Go

Wed 23 - Ottawa, IL

We woke the teens up at 5:15am, and got the feeling that they had only been asleep for a short time. With the car packed to capacity, we pulled out of the driveway at 5:45am. Jack's mom, as always, bid us farewell with clever and thoughtful gifts. Among the goodies was a Dunkin' Donuts gift card. The teens woke up around 10am, and we put the card to it's first use. We had the World Cup match USA vs. Algeria on the radio, and we all downloaded vuvuzela apps for full effect in the car;) USA won the game! We drove through some serious storms last night, but safely arrived at the Hampton Inn in Ottawa, Il at 7:15 est. Bobby (our nephew) pulled into the hotel at the same time. Yay! We had a drink in the room, and off for a quick dinner to the elusive Hank's Restaurant. 840 miles down.
