Road Trip to kick off Summer Vacation 2010

We had to take a road trip to start our road trip... To Middlebury, Indiana to pick up our RV which was back in its birthplace for repairs. (Thanks to Showhauler for the awesome customer service.)

We left Utah on Thursday, and took the 15 to the I-70, then headed east. The I-70 is amazing from Utah to Denver; then BAM! Nothing but farms all the way across Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois.

It took us four full days of driving, plus a teeny bit on Monday to get to Indiana where at last, we got to sleep in our own bed! Yippee! Here's a bit of what we saw on the road:

Endless beautiful rest areas/scenic overlooks on the 70.
A bike path followed this part of the 70 for a really long way.
This is just wrong.
Chicago skyline.
The Bean. Chicago.
Cycling the quiet country roads around Middlebury, Indiana.
Amish Country traffic.
Next stop: Floyds Knob, Indiana (across the river from Louisville, KY) to spend the 4th of July weekend with Brian's family, including his folks who are driving down from New Jersey.
