A different kind of rain: Cross Country Road Trip

Betsy was gracious enough to give us her old Prius (with hardly any miles on it!) so we had the opportunity for another cross country road trip (we're pros now, my 4th, Adam's 7th)! This time we had the amazing luxury of only having ONE child (Avi), while Isla stayed another week in Maine.

Here was our itinerary

July 10th and 11th- 2 nights in New Jersey with Jack, Maggie, Wyatt and Lucy

July 12th- 1 night with MaryLou in Toledo, OH

July 13th- 1 night in Madison Wisconsin

July 14th- 1 night in Wall, South Dakota

July 15th- 1 night in Billings, Montana

July 16th- 1 night in Spokane, Washington

We had at least one interesting stop each day, drove between 7-10 hours per day and ate a lot of random gas station food! We got lucky with weather and smoke (avoided it somehow, barely) and Avi was a total camp! We stayed in several hotels with pools so that was a nice way to end the day. Somewhere in South Dakota (?) we stopped at a Target (I ran out of clean underwear) and Avi picked up a Darth Vader Mask, which became the thing for the rest of the trip.
