Westward Expansion Day 2

Posted by Rosie on Sunday, June 9, 2024

Day 2 was just another day on the road. NOT! OK, so we did go over 500 miles today, so it was certainly, another day on the road, but not just any day. The terrain started to change. No longer the foothills or verdant green forests we traversed yesterday. The roads started to straighten out and flatten. But today was a family day. After I took my people to see some of their family in central, IL, I got to go back to my birthplace! That’s right, we stopped by Normal, IL. Plenty of siblings were to be found in the area. It was Sunday, so my family didn’t talk to anyone there. And I’m not going to say they were stuck up, but we did get to see some preppy models showing off as we approached. We even saw a bus who wanted to play make believe.

Sadly, we had to move on. Those 500 miles weren’t going to eat themselves! Along the way, we saw a pretty sunset. Oh, and some bugs. Remind me to tell you about the bugs at some point.
