Our Great Adventure-Day 7




Today was a day of driving! The trip from Hershey to Columbus, OH took six hours. Almost all of it was through the mountains on the Pennsylvannia Turnpike. We did get to go through four long tunnels which the kids loved. I didn't love all the mountain driving and tractor-trailer trucks. I was also glad that I filled up with gas in Hershey and that I no longer drove a big SUV because there only about 2 gas stations along the whole turnpike. We hit some traffic and rain in Columbus, but finally made it to our hotel. It was a long day! Our hotel was across from a mall and since Riley and Jensen had some gift certificates we went to see if they could spend them. We didn't have much luck shopping so we ate dinner at Macaroni Grill and then headed back to the hotel. Since the hotel had an outdoor pool and it was raining, there was no swimming. We decided to make it an early night. Columbus had a bad storm during the night and sirens went off, only Jensen and I heard them. But neither of us woke up enough to be concerned. Everything was fine.
