As we drive through Illinois and Indiana it was hard to see much but the rain. Our oil life was at 0% so Joel and Caleb went to get the oil changed and Isla and I wondered around Walmart.
It’s so odd that plastic bags are free and plastic straws/utensils etc are plentiful here. When the kids make a comment to any staff at fast food places about how awesome it is to have plastic straws they look at the kids like they are from another planet.
We spent the night at Cracker Barrel again. There is something beautifully homey about how every Cracker Barrel is identical and familiar. Our waitress at Cracker Barrel had never met a Canadian before…at the Pecan Farm yesterday they said they had never had a Canadian in their store before. It’s odd that in this pocket of the world Canada isn’t well represented.
