Day 2! PA, OH, IN, IL - 12 hours of just plain sexy

Such a wonderful day! I just don't know where to start.  Today was a day full of coffee, crappy states, Ra'Kweesh'a, driving, epic fails, traffic, BEN FOLDS, and beautiful houses! (with a tangent of fart wars).  

11:12am, Mile 814

After a quick Starbucks fueling, we were off through underwhelming Pennsylvania.  That's really all we would like to say about that wonderful state.  Underwhelming.  Then we entered...duh duh duhhhhh...O. H. I. O.  *in Fargo accent* (As a side note, Ohio had been previously agreed upon as the "Ben Folds" state.  Please keep in mind that all Ohio activities were made wonderful with the underlying rhythm of Ben Folds).  The first rest stop in Ohio marked my very first McCafe experience!  It was, like the entirety of Pennsylvania, underwhelming.  It tasted like it would be really good chocolate milk, had it been cold.  Here is me being excited for such a wonderful experience, however misguided that naive excitement might have been.

We are now in Indiana.  Indiana a little bit sucks.  HOWEVER.  It is home to two wonderful things. 

1. Gas that costs $3.09 

2. The RV/Motor Home Hall of Fame 

I don't really even know how to follow that.  The RV/MH not only exists (sad face), but it is considered tourism in Indiana.  The only thing left to mention about Indiana is how it is almost as boring as Ohio.  Here are some pictures that accurately reflect the ENTIRETY of the 7 hours we spent in these two states today, respectively.

Epic Fail.  Epic. Fail. 

So.  We pulled into a line to go through the toll booth that would release us from the unrelenting claws of Indiana (named the iZoom...cute.), and this woman in this SEXY red SUV (see picture below) decided to go through the iZoom lane without an iZoom pass.  So this woman spends 5 minutes trying to shove the ticket into the machine that simply just does not take tickets.  After this grueling 5 minute bummer, she decided that it might be a good idea to ask for help.  Eventually (we infer), the service plaza people just got tired of her and let her pass through.  

Oh and PS.  As if this experience could become even more of an epic fail, this woman was wearing BRIGHT ASS PINK spandex pants, and a silk t-shirt with pictures of animal heads alllllllll over it.  Good lord she was so hot.  

8:57pmEST, 7:57pmCST, Mile 1,270

We arrived at my cousin's house a little later than expected (EFF YOU CHICAGO SUNDAY AFTERNOON TRAFFIC!), but we were greeted by beer and Thai food, so life was happy.  Oh, and their house is beautiful.  And by a river.  

Chicago tomorrow! :-) 

(p.s. leave comments, we miss you!)
