**ROADTRIP HAS BEGUN**

MONDAY: Civic is ready for the battle. New tires & an Oil Change!
TUESDAY: A little work, then the trip begins. We left Elk Grove Village at 6p and drove south, stopping for dinner at the ONE place that would set the tone for the trip...

We called Grandma Dottie when we were outside Dyer, IN. to sneak attack dinner plans. She showed up to join us for dinner. We enjoyed queso, dinner and good conversation. Once finished, we hit the road and drove for the next 3.5 hours to arrive in Fort Wayne, IN. at 11:00pm. Along the way, we saw many "pieces of life" that included Valpo University, a fence store, details on a leprechan hunt coming up in August, and Grovertown truckstop at mile 120 of our trip. Who says Indiana has nothing to offer?

We needed to stop 3/4 of the way for a late night Frosty...

Wednesday, we head to my freelance station, Star 88.3 FM (www.star883.com) and drive to Sandusky, OH. to enjoy Cedar Point. Thanks for checking in...check back often!!!
