We made it to Terre Haute, IN today. Drove over 500 miles today. We are both exhausted. We got up early and were on the road before 9:00 this morning. Neither one of us got much sleep last night. We kept thinking of one more thing to take or to do.
Tomorrow we are driving to Columbus, Ohio which is a little over four hours from where we are. We are meeting up with a college friend of Jim’s and having dinner at their house. Not sure if we will spend the night in Columbus or try to get a few more miles in before we stop for the night.
Friday we are driving to Springfield, MA which is over 10 hours from Columbus. It would be nice to drive two hours Thursday evening before we stop but we will see how our visit goes and how tired we are. Grateful we are only driving four hours tomorrow before we get to stop for a bit.
We stopped for gas once and a couple of potty breaks today. Traffic was heavy but we only hit one real slow down outside of Terre Haute. We had dinner at a Texas Roadhouse – it was excellent. Service was great, the food came out hot and quickly, and the place was clean. The hotel gave us a coupon for a free appetizer.
It is only a little after 7:00 eastern time but we are both ready to go to sleep. We are going to call it an early night and get some good rest tonight. Onward to Columbus tomorrow.
Grateful for a safe journey today, grateful for food in my tummy, and grateful to be out of the car for a bit.
