Day 1 Wauseon, Ohio

Dateline 11:54pm EST. From Bay Ridge Brooklyn to Wauseon, Ohio. It's about 600 miles later, Rick and I have finally made it to our first stop on an incredible journey across the country! We are exhausted and have spent almost 12+ hours on the road. Unfortunately, we ran into a few minor construction delays on I-80 that set us back almost 2 hours.

If anyone ever says to you that Ohio is flatter than a pancake- it's TRUE! Driving through Pennsylvania was un-eventful. Nevertheless, we are at our evening resting place and resting is probably an understatement.

The morning started at 5am when Rick and I spent a good hour or so packing the SUV. The end result was that we did not have enough space for Milo and had to put him on the roof! You have to have a sense of humor when you travel such a long distance! He was given his own cool space in the car and enjoyed the ride!

As we drove through New Jersey into Pennsylvania, the temperature did increase. In Ohio, it poured and lightening did flash all around us as we drove into Ohio.

Tomorrow, we are off through Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and will most likely end day 2 of our journey in and around the Minneapolis area. Stay tuned for more...
