Our Little Grease Monkeys


Sun, 6/8/2014

South Bend, IN

The hotel last night had a window seat with a nice cushion and Todd insisted he was going to sleep there.  He did and about 2 AM we heard a thump and he had fallen off the window seat into the floor.  Awful way to wake up!  On the road by 7:10 AM and traveled through some pouring rain for several hours.  With only one stop for lunch we reached the Studebaker Museum by 2:15 PM.  Very interesting and the kids liked seeing the old cars, trucks, tanks and horse drawn wagons but what they really liked was the small hands-on garage for kids where they could change tires; replace mufflers; fill the antifreeze; drain the oil; and do all types of automotive work.  There were work orders and a desk with a phone to take customer’s calls.  They had a ball.  Reserved a motel yesterday near the museum and it is a roof over our heads and that’s about it.  I’ve stayed in worse but not very often.  Kids are doing great!  I couldn’t have asked for better kids today riding 374 miles.
