Our Tour of the Midwest

This past week, Trey and I were all over place. We left EARLY Wednesday morning for Atlanta; we arrived just in time to grab some breakfast (at chick-fil-a of course) before heading to our gate. By 10 o'clock we were in Dayton, Ohio, where my Dad and sister, Britni, picked us up. From there, we made our way to Cleveland where the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was waiting for us. We spent the afternoon there (they had a lot of neat stuff, but you couldn't take pictures inside :( ..sad ) before heading to Sandusky, Ohio, where we settled into our hotel for the night for some much need sleep.

Thursday morning we were up and ready to spend the day at Cedar Point amusement park! It's such a fun park, and the weather was perfect! After riding every roller coaster we could and more, it was time to leave and head for Chicago where we met up with my stepmom, Renee. Upon arriving in Chicago we collapsed into bed to rest up for the big game in the morning.

Friday, we took a mini tour around the city before heading to Giordono's for some delicious Chicago style pizza. After lunch, it was on to Wrigley Field for the Cubs Game! Sadly, they lost, but it was still a lot of fun. After the game Britni, Trey, and I made the trip to Indiana, while my Dad and Renee headed back to their house.

Friday night we stayed at my Uncle Jeff's house in Warsaw. We slept in Saturday morning before heading to my Grandma Cleo's house to visit with her for little while. My mom was there visiting as well, so it was also nice to see her. My Grandma isn't able to handle a lot of visitors, so we only stayed for a half hour or so. When we left her house, I had to take Trey to one of my favorite places up there, Penguin Point. Besides the fact that I love penguins, they have really good pork tenderlion sandwiches and delicious french fries! After that, we drove to Claypool (about 20 minutes) to visit my Grandma Slone. On the way there Britni and I had to stop by our favorite bakery to get some buttermilk cookies (they might be the best cookies in the world), and a strawberry pie (sooo good). We shared the pie with my grandma, but kept the cookies to ourselves. :) Trey also spotted some homemade BBQ sauce and peach salsa that he had to have, so we got those too. After visiting with my grandma for a while (and eating some delicious pie) we headed to my Dad's house in St. Joseph, Illinois.

Sunday, Renee's Dad came over to celebrate the 4th with us. We had a nice big lunch, and then had a nice relaxing day until it was time to shoot of some fireworks of course. Monday we had another relaxing day just hanging out until it was time for us to head to the Indianapolis airport for our flight back home.

It was a long trip, but we had a lot of fun! Here are the pictures:
