Should we give up, or should we just keep chasing semis??

So today we drove from Terre Haute, Indiana to Topeka, Kansas.  It was a pretty long, boring ride, mostly looking at fields and the side of semis the whole way.

Fields in Illinois

Crossing the Mississippi

Drew Davis, if you're reading this, Amy stole those sunglasses from you at the Hunt circa 2012.  Sorry :-(

Getting close to Topeka...

The most eventful part was when I (Amy here!) hit Pat with the car backing into a spot at the hotel.  I may have been a little hangry... oops! He's okay, no worries.

In any case, once we arrived, we unloaded and headed out to the Blind Tiger Brewery for dinner.

Our view at dinner

This place was insane! It was so so so unbelievably delicious.  We had a sampler flight of beers with fried pickles and burnt ends (rib meat).  After that we got brisket and smoked chicken.

If you're ever driving through Topeka, go here. Otherwise, we're having another quiet night, heading out  early in the morning to stay with our friend, Kevin, in Colorado Springs.  In the meantime, we thought we'd share some of our East Coast observations of the Mid-West....

1. Gravy is white.
2. FedEx Semi drivers are absolutely terrible on the road.
3. Churches look like storage warehouses and/or fast food restaurants.
4. We've seen more Bob Evans than we ever knew existed, and we're still not quite sure what they are.
5. If you don't look like you're from the Mid-West, people watch you eat.
6. Cream is your only option at Starbucks (RIP Skim Milk).
7. Gas is less than $3 dollars!!
8.  Everyone, literally everyone, is incredibly kind.

Until tomorrow,
A & P
