All things go, All things go

The trip started off grand. By 6am we had all taken turns driving, co-piloting, and sleeping in the back.
We have seen some shady rest stops and friendly people. We've seen farm land and sprawling fields with grass that looks like water as it blows in the wind.
The van has been very cold and so damn hot.

First Forgotten Item: Kim's guitar tuner.
When Forgotten Item was realized: Haddon Ave (the main street in collingswood)

Our first sunrise, watched by Mike and Lizz and slept through by Sean and Kim, consisted of: 65 mph on I-76 with mist over lakes and fields, Here Comes The Sun coming out of our speakers, a few cows, and friendly toot from a truckers air horn.
We just left Cleveland. First stop at Lake Erie, where the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame was. Kim played a song outside on a weird structure thing. Downtown Cleveland: ugly. big buildings. no people. pretty water. good breeze.
Breakfast in Cleveland was a success. We stopped at a Mom and Pop luncheonette. Construction paper taped to the windows told us that eggs with bacon and toast cost $1.99. I had issues pulling in to the parking lot and was judged by locals. We rolled into the place with sunglasses on and our Jersey plates. "You guys come all the way from Jersey?" said the cook. He talked us up. I thought he asked if we wanted to see a "Titty Bar," he said "Kiddie Park."
Mike is sleeping, he drove most of the wee hours of the morning. Kim is shotgun, Sean driving. He's introducing Kim and I to Teegan and Sarah. We're both into "Underwater".

We've already seen Lake Erie and Lake Michigan.

We're at Steven's, Mike's older brother's apartment. It took 16 hours to get here, Chicago. We're all tired and hungry and sweaty and looking for camera wires to upload photos.
