Day 3: Rochester, NY to Dayton, OH

Tuesday morning we got up and left Rochester by 8:30am and headed to Dayton, OH.  Again it was raining and cold to start our day but Ohio turned sunny and mid 70’s.  Both days the girls did great in the truck and never fought.  They alternated between movies, naps and reading and we hardly heard from them unless they needed to stop for the bathroom or to get a snack.  We keep a cooler of snacks and drinks in the truck and then stop for lunch in the camper.  Scott drove all day today; a total of 10 hours on the road and 480 miles.  We drove through NY, Pennsylvania and ended just west of Dayton, OH.  Traffic around Columbus, OH, was bad (rush hour traffic) but going the opposite direction.

Talking to Grammie and Grampie at the KOA

The KOA campground here is beautiful and I wish we could stay here to rest for a few days but tomorrow we travel to St Louis.  We took a nice walk around the campground and then played a few games of UNO before bed tonight.  Scott got out our US map and plotted with a highlighter where we have been so far and it’s amazing to see.  We found Ohio to be beautiful and green with mile after mile of fields of crops.  It is just beautiful.  The campground itself has mini golf, train ride and mining for gemstones, all at additional cost of course.  It is not very quiet here- we can hear the highway and must be close to an airport.
