Day three continued: We left the Quality Inn at Brookville, PA and made our way across the northern section of the state on the very long Pennsylvania turnpike. Thankfully we were given advice to buy an easy pass. Most of the states in the "East" we pass through will accept it. Ohio being the only one not to. We made a pit-stop in Cleveland, OH to have lunch with Amy, Chris & Petra Kjaer. It was great spending time with them, touring the Montessori High School they run; Chris is the Principal and to have time just to talk and enjoy one another's company. It had over ten years since we had seen each other!
From Cleveland we set out to make it to Chicago. By this point Brian has still driven the entire way. Somewhere in Ohio, at a Service Plaza I took the driver seat. I had a 171 miles to drive and weave around the steady stream of tractor trailers on the road. I drove through Ohio and into Indiana. Brian took over after another stop at a plaza (where we acquired a tasty 1/2 dozen bagels) to drive the remainder of Indiana into Chicago, Ill. The boredom of the long drive set in for hte boys. They entertained themselves by "painting" their fingernails and toenails with markers.
We arrived somewhere around 9:30 pm. After all our bags were in our room, we took a taxi to Gino's East Pizza to eat deep dish pizza. This type of pie takes 45 minutes to cook! Needless to say, it was a very long day/nite and I am amazed at how awesome August & Ocean did. They are very savvy travelers!
