Not too much to report today – we started out at 76 degrees in MO and it is 78 degrees here in Ohio, 12 hours and 600 miles later.  We ran into a bit of traffic here and there, but we have settled in for the night about 60 miles south of Cleveland.  We hope to get to Keuka Lake, NY by early afternoon tomorrow.  The biggest change we had noticed coming east is that the number of trees has increased dramatically.  We had a pretty uneventful day – the kids watched their last movie.  We are out of books on CD so they spent some time drawing their dream sports cars.  They have each designed one that they expect to build when they become rich (although we don’t have any details on how they will become so).  We just had dinner and the boys are showering before bed.  We have a few more chapters in our book so we try to read a couple tonight and maybe I can finish the book in the car when I am not driving.  The boys are looking forward to seeing their parents and sisters and cousins at the lake tomorrow.  I don’t know what the internet access is at the lake so this may be the last blog for the trip.  We plan to be home on Tuesday and then have my brother, Russ, and Cathie, his son, Tristan, and wife Dee and twin babies come in on Wednesday at noon so will have to do a quick dusting of the house when we get home.  We also will be exchanging Dan for Ella, as August is girl cousins’ month.  We look forward to seeing our local friends and sharing our pictures of the trip.
