Columbus--St. Louis

Yesterday morning we were lucky enough to  be able to meet up with our friends from Punta Arenas, Chile.  We met them first at Torres del Paine in the VERY south of Chile.  Next we saw them again in Santiago, and this time in Columbus, OH (where her parents live).  We were joking that if we keep moving north like this, the next time we meet will have to be in Canada somewhere...

We had breakfast together at Jack & Benny's near OSU and the girls had a chance to run around with them a bit before our long drive for the day.

 It rained a LOT on our drive...

We did see some folks who are taking a bigger road trip than us.

Making progress--into my home state.  It was so weird to be just a couple of hours from where I grew up and not go down to Marion.  I did a salute as we went past Hwy 57.  Feels like home around here..

Eventually we got to the KOA near St. Louis and the girls had fun jumping on the bouncy pillow, swimming, and rounding out the evening with roasted hot dogs and s'mores (a first for A)!
