Ya'll got Grits?

For breakfast we stopped at IHOP, and we were all arguing over whether or not they sold grits. My aunt decided to ask, and to our surprise they actually had grits.

There were about one million farms in Ohio/Indiana, and two million deer. We passed a tractor that was black with a three on the side…clearly it was a 3 for Dale! I never knew I would see Rednecks out of the south-but they were everywhere in Ohio and Indiana.

In Indiana or Ohio one, we passed these farms and windmills. I mean there were like hundreds of farms and five times as many windmills. And not the old farm windmills that you would think would be at a farm. They were just these huge, white windmills. It was all we saw for around 20 minutes.

Later on, we finally started to see Chicago. Matt would NOT let me out of the car to go to the bathroom and made me suffer for around thirty minutes before stopping at a gas station.

We pulled up at a toll booth and it literally cost $1.25 to ride for maybe two minutes down on a road with potholes. When we had to pay $3 again about two minutes later, my aunt started yelling in the backseat (but not in a mean way) "Where is my toll money going? Obviously ya'll aren't using it to fix the potholes!"

To our amazement, we saw a McDonalds in the middle of an interstate. Literally in the middle. There was drive thru, but you could also park. It was crazy.

Also, for the first time in my life I spent $30 at McDonalds. But at least it was for me and four other people.

(See the car driving & the interstate exit sign?)
