Well so far so good...we left Dale and Maggie's house in Lebanon late morning and continued on the journey. Our good friend Jared got us into geocaching (geo-what? just google "geocaching" while he visited us in August, so for Jake's b-day he got at handheld GPS. We stopped a few times along our trip today to geocash. Our first stop was about 10 miles down the road from Dale and Maggie's at Cumberland University. What a beautiful campus and I was the lucky one to spot the "cache" in the gazebo! We continued northward stopping a few times along the way to geocash, eat, potty, fuel up, etc. Our next major stop was at Fort Massac state park in Metropolis, IL. What a gorgeous park right along the river. Ethan enjoyed playing at the playground and digging in the dirt there (and helped mom do a little stretching)! The next stop was to see the giant Superman statue in downtown Metropolis! Cool huh? We then continued on and decided it would be nice to get off the interstate, so we headed up Hwy 51 and stopped to eat pizza at Monical's pizza in Centrilla, IL. We ended day two about 30 miles north of where we planned to, but found a really nice hotel in Lincoln, IL! So far so good...Ethan has done really well, just doesn't like getting back into his car seat after we stop. I'm having a lot of lower back pain, but so far making it ok!
