We have moved out of Chicagoland, and are now in the Eastern Time Zone, in South Bend, Indiana - home of the College Football Hall of Fame & University of Notre Dame!

Today is a good day. We are finally full-time back in our little home-on-wheels. The weather appears to be officially fall, so we spent the morning swapping out shorts for pants, and tank tops for long-sleeved shirts. Our clothing bins in the back wardrobe seem to be working out well. The clothes that we swapped out will go back in the "basement" until we hit warmer weather, probably next spring.

Last night, we got all caught up on our week's worth of laundry by using the campground laundromat. We continued laundry in the RV this morning, washing sheets & towels. It feels really great to have a full-service connection again - it's been a while.

We are still trying to find our rhythm in this trip, and today's experience really brought to light the need to slow down a little bit. I think it will really help the girls a lot as we have seen a sharp uptick in the tantrums since we have started our journey. Unfortunately, the next week looks like it will be a pretty busy travel week. We'll leave here tomorrow, and head to Cedar Point, Ohio for a long-promised amusement park stop, then on to Buffalo, NY for a customer meet & greet and a quick peek at Niagara Falls. Mark has a Wednesday morning meeting in Albany, NY, followed by a usergroup conference in Hartford, CT on Friday. However, once we get to Connecticut, we don't have any immediate stops planned, so I hope we can do a little better at planning our time.
