4 states in 1 day!

On Monday we drove through 4 different states! We left the wonderful state of Nebraska and drove all the way through Iowa. Then we drove straight through Illinois. Finally, we drove almost all the way through Indiana. We stopped at South Bend, Indiana, home of Notre Dame University and birthplace of Larry Bird.

Remember when I told you that Nebraska was the 3rd largest producer of corn? Well number 2 is Iowa and number 1 is....Illinois! That's 3 states in a row that are full of cornfields, cornfields, and more cornfields!

Time for a little photo quiz. Can you tell which cornfield belongs to which state?





Maybe in another entry I'll give you the answers to this exciting quiz! Can you imagine 8 hours of looking at corn out the window?!

Here are some pictures of entering the different states.





We did get some excitement when we entered Illinois. Here I am being greeted by good ole' Abraham Lincoln. Our 16th president was born in Illinois. I bet he liked corn!
