Drive into Indiana
Bidding adieu to the Yamamoto clan was hard; you could not ask for a wackier, friendlier, smarter, and sweeter family. But onward we trekked, with a brief stop on a farm out in Illinois.
There sure is something beautiful about seeing those endless fields of corn, enormous silos, rundown barns, and hearty people. The ability to look out your window and see with your own eyes your claim in this world is the source of tremendous pride. Your responsibility for your land and your family creates the necessity for understanding and listening to how the earth sustains and how the animals thrive and the art of self-reliance.
We spent the night in Lafayette, Indiana in a giant field, nursing a giant tub of Oreo frozen custard.

Indy KOA
The following morning we drove to Indianapolis and spent the next couple of days relaxing and recovering, readjusting to life on the road once more. We stocked up on staples like cheese and celery, went swimming at the pool, and indulged in some UNO and Quibbler. I pumped out some college essays and introduced Matthew to the elliptical and stationary bike. That boy really loved working out with me.
