After a long and arduous journey, we finally arrived in New York. There were some fun surprises...
(Blowout #1)
and some more definitely-becoming-less-fun surprises
(Blowout #2)
...But, all in all, the voyage afforded us the opportunity to visit a variety of states and view their scenic freeways. We began our journey in Washington (of course), before traveling through...

...Idaho (we may not have been in Idaho long enough to actually take a picture)

...Montana
...Wyoming
(Where we ran into some minor car trouble)

But we were able to spend some time getting to know the good people of Buffalo, Wyoming

...and we're back on the road again to South Dakota

...Minnesota

...Wisconsin

...we did, however, stop long enough to score ourselves some good old Wisconsin cheddar

...then off to Illinois
(Please feel the pain of our Chicago traffic nightmare)
but while the traffic may have received a big thumbs down, the Chicago cuisine...
definitely got a big thumbs up
...Indiana

not forgetting, of course, to swing by and take a peek at the important Indiana sites

...Ohio

While in Ohio, we were able to visit the Kirtland Temple and other nearby Church sites

...and back on the road to Pennsylvania

...before finally arriving

where we were, naturally, welcomed with open arms

and let's do that one more time
But, in the end, we arrived safely at our destination. All in all, it turned out to be, at the very least, a memorable adventure that we will not be repeating in the near future.
