The I States: Indiana, Illinois, Iowa

We got a late start today, but almost made it to Des Moines Iowa. Nothing too exciting today, just a lot of driving. Here are the highlights:

Roger the Rhino and Morris the Moose, our trip mascots, enjoying the ride through Indiana.


Our first stop was in Indianapolis at Yat's, the most amazing Cajun place ever. Here is my lovely plate of spinach and mushroom etouffee complete with Cajun Power.


Sign to Chillicothe, Illinois. I got a kick out of it.


Finally, our stop for dinner in Iowa. The place was enormous.

Okay, that's it for now. The plan for tomorrow is more driving and hopefully a quick visit to Badlands NP before dark. Updates asap!

    Whoa whoa whoa.... cajun food in Indy?!? There's something soooo wrong about that. And yet, to know there's at least seemingly decent cajun food somewhat close is mildly comforting.

    P.S. Yes, this is my first trip to the blog, but I'm catching up fast. So blog your little heart out. I'm following intently. ;)
