West to Indiana

July 27, 2010
Elkhart, IN

Yesterday, the weather cleared, just in time for the next driving leg of our trip west. We drove south a few miles and picked up I-76 west, switching to US-30 after a bit. With these route numbers, we were reminded of our time in the Philly area! It was a nice day for driving, with only a little wind in areas. US-30 turned out to be an excellent route, mostly 4-lane divided highway. We fueled up in a little town called "Beaverdam", where US-30 crosses I-75, then continued on, picking up US-33 near Goshen and Middlebury (towns in Connecticut near where I grew up) into Elkhart. A nice driving day...

We settled in, hooked up, and walked the pups. As we did, we couldn't help but notice the way neighbors have their tow vehicle set up.

I pulled out the grill and we fired up a fabulous 40 oz Porterhouse that we'd bought at the West Side Market in Cleveland. Geri made Risotto Cakes and Sautéed Asparagus, all of this going with a nice Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon. Oh, yeah; that's livin'. Now, why did I only buy one of those steaks??? D'oh!

Today was a "close to home" day. I paid bills and did a few things around the coach. Geri did some laundry and cleaning. We did our shopping at Wally World. We took a ride to Petco a few towns over for dog food, so the pups got out for a ride as well. For dinner, I grilled some chicken and we had that with Fried Rice, Geri's Famous Panzanella Salad, and a "value" Malbec from Argentina.
