Day 4: Illinois --> Colorado

Hi it's Stacy again, and today in Colorado at 11:02 me, Nikki and Jade will be travel to Colorado. Right now the weather is at 92 degrees which is pretty hot, we will be covering 1,010 miles in 15 hours and 3 minute. About 10 hours have pasted by and Jade is napping will Nikki is using her binoculars we got at the gift shop to watch birds. We are now bordering the great old Nebraska where we will be making a stop at the Omaha Performing Arts.  The weather has cooled down a bit to 82 degrees and i decided we take a pitch stop at Kona Grill where we will be ordering a California roll, Spider Roll, and a Seasonal Salad. After all that and 3 hours had pasted by ,leaving us will 2 more hours We decided to stop at the Sappa Creek Bridge, this is where it is high populated. We spent about an hour and a half at the park observing all the new amazing things we had never seen before. When we decided to leave the park it was 62 degrees outside and Jade was freezing her cheeks off. We decided to go back in the car so Jade would stop complaining. She finally stopped yapping her mouth when we finally arrived. Good thing i booked the three of us a hotel at The Broadmoor which is a 5 star hotel. The prices weren't that bad because it costed $300 for a room, but luckily Nikki's grandma had great deals with hotels. This was due to the fact Nikki's grandma use to travel when she was young.

Day 1: New York --> Ohio




  Hi it's Stacy, today on June 9, 2013 in New York City at 6:56 AM me and my fellow friends Nikki, and Jade will be traveling to Ohio. Right now the weather is 45F in New York. Along our trip that lasts 8 hours and 40 minutes we will be passing through Pennsylvania, where we will be taking route 80. This is where we will be making a quick stop to grab a bit stop to grab a bit at BerkeyCreamery.We just needed a quick snack along the road because an hour earlier we took a stop at Roma Pizzeria for lunch. I now understood why we had to wait in such a big line because it was worth it. Since we are now in Pennsylvania the temperature has increased to 75F where we have arrived at 10;49 which means the trip took us 3 hours and 33 minutes to get here. Later on 2 hours had passed by and we decided to make a stop at the Adventure Aquarium. I and Jade had no chose either to go or not because when we planned the trip Nikki's highlight of the trip to Ohio was the Adventure Aquarium. This would all make sense because Nikki worked at an aquarium back in New York. By the time we were done visiting to Adventure Aquarium we were so worn out,specially me due to the fact that i had to drive 8 hours and 40 minutes to Ohio. I was so glad we made stops during our trip to Ohio or else i don't think i would've made it because i had to drive all the way to Ohio. After a long day of driving, eating, and visiting the aquarium we decided to visit our hotel at the Ritz Carlton .I decided to book this hotel for the three of us because it was a 5 star rating and it had so many good quality, plus it only costed us $782 for three king sized beds altogether. At the end of the day 8 hours and 40 minutes had gone by and we were so excited to see our rooms and were thankful we planned this trip out.

Day: 2 Ohio-Illinois

Hey it's Nikki and it's June 10th 2013 and today we are leaving Ohio and traveling to Illinois. This trip will be taking us 8 hours and 46 minutes and we're covering about 533 miles. As an hour passed we have been starving so we stopped for a quick snack at Jeni's Ice Cream. Jade had planned out our meals to Illinois and found that Jeni's Ice Cream is 4 1/2 star rating. We didn't need such a big meal because later we will be passing by Chicago and so Stacy made a reservation at Acadia for three. Stacy decided to make a reservation at Acadia because they had a 5 star rating and the food was worth it. As 3 hours had pass by we finally arrived at Acadia and the food was AMAZING! Later on our trip me and Stacy switched because the weather was harsh and I couldn't control the starring wheel because at 2;43AM it was 68 degrees. At this time in Chicago there was a thunderstorm that almost struck us. Later on when we had 245 miles left to Illinois it started easing up and we visited Brair Street Theater. We were so glad we kept extra money in the emergency department  because we had left all our money in the trunk where the suitcases were. After a long day at the theater we rented a hotel at the Town & Country Inn and Suites. This hotel was the bomb digity because it was 5 star and had 2 pools. This is the end of day 2 but we will meet next time!Have a great day :)
