FIRST WEEK OUT

We are having a fabulous time. We have had so many adventures and have so many more to go.

We have slept three nights in the car. Don't worry for the rest of the trip we have places to stay.

We made it to Iowa. There was a lot of corn in this state.

Minnesota was a fun filled spot. From the Jolly Green Giant to the largest ball of twine.

Despite the rain we got a great shot of the Jolly Green Giant. It wasn't quite as big as Margie remembered but was fun none the less.

Wierd Al promotes this world wonder. We saw the nations largest ball of twine. If you are in Minnesota be sure to hit up this sight and grab a sandwich at Jack's Tavern. It was a darn good eat.
We hit up the Mall of America. It truly is a huge mall.

They had the greatest Lego store ever

And a huge indoor amusement park.

Margie had to ride the rollercoaster. Way too much fun for her

St. Paul, Minnesota -- Capitol #22 Just moving right along in her goal.

While we were there a huge storm rolled in and we've never seen so much hail in our lives

Welcome to Wisconsin

Madison Capitol #23

Michigan was a two minute detour so we nabbed it.

Welcome to Indiana

And Ohio...

And Pennsylvania...

We stayed the night at the McBrides's. They are awesome and we loved spending some time with them. They rock.

Harrisburg, PA #24

Since Margie has begun eating chocolate again it has become an addiction. So of course we made our Mecca to Hershey, PA and visited chocolate world

We were in Amish country in Lancaster, PA. This was some great BBQ

We arrived in Philadelphia and Melba showed us out on the town. This is MArgie's first cab ride

Our car was making a funny noise so Andrew checked it out. So far seems like no big deal

We are staying two nights in Philadelphia with Andrew's Aunt Melba. This is a night view from her apartment. She has a great apartment overlooking Washington Square in the heart of Philly. We love it. We head out tomorrow for a Historic tour of Philadelphia. Get excited.
