Update...mission Seven Valleys

It is Tuesday, it is my birthday and we are resting for the night in Plainfield, Indiana at yet another Motel 6. The difference with this hotel is that is is super affordable and we have an indoor pool! I am excited to relax for a good night's sleep to make the big push toward PA tomorrow. 

We passed Russell, KS yesterday and the coolest roadside sign I've seen in a while: "Boyhood hometown of Bob Dole and Arlen Spector"

(Dad, I thought you'd love to hear about that one-ha ha)

So, I am anxious to be home real soon and sleep in my luxurious Sleep Comfort bed. I also look forward to sharing time with family and friends. (And meeting my new BFF Abigail Lawrence!)

Thanks for the birthday well wishes to those in contact. I appreciate it more than you can imagine.

I will post photos later this evening.

Peace~
