Driving to Illinois!

My cousin is getting married Saturday, and we're driving up for the rehearsal dinner and wedding... and then driving back, right after the wedding. Half of the entire trip will be spent driving, but I'm excited, first because I really want to see my cousin and meet his fiancee, but also because I've never been to any states but NC and VA, and this trip will add West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee to my list! =)

We're not sure exactly when we're leaving... anywhere between 10pm tonight and 3am tomorrow have been suggested. I think 1am is our current goal. That should put us arriving in IL somewhere around 1-2 pm Central time. Unless we take long stops... which would be nice. The rehearsal dinner isn't until 7, so we'll have plenty of time if we leave at 1am.

Then we're planning to leave right after the wedding (we're guessing that will be about 5pm) and that will put us home sometime between 5-7am Sunday morning.

So I better get back to getting ready now!

Yeah...be especially careful going through Ohio. A lot of scary people live there :P

Wow...well, get ready for lots of FLAT. And more flat. Flatness...whatever.

It should be fairly nice in the summer though. In winter it's depressing. :(

Where in IL are you going? (If you don't mind saying.)

Hope you have a good trip though. :)

Haha... thanks, Neil and Rebecca. =)

Our hotel is in Savoy, IL. I think the actual wedding is going to be in Champaign, IL. And they're both about 2 and a half hours south of Chicago.
Thanks Natalie! :D
