Day Twenty-Four: Bound for Purdue

Rob and Todd were out of the house early and off to the mechanic.  Jenna and the children were left at the breakfast bar with Mojo (top) and Toby (bottom).

Thankfully, the transmission was diagnosed as having a burned-out overdrive.  We were given the green light from a mechanic in Crawfordsville to hit the road, but to leave the overdrive off.  So, we traveled back to Purdue so that Jenna could visit her alma mater.

The children had heard a great deal about the bowling alley in the basement of Purdue's Memorial Union -- not because Jenna ever bowled that much, but more because there's something sort of cool about a 10-pin bowling alley in the basement of a university's union.

Sadly, the children did not get a chance to bowl a string.  Jenna underestimated the popularity of bowling on a Monday morning and the alley -- all eight lanes -- was booked until 3:30.  As we had to get to Cleveland -- 6 and 1/2 hours away from West Lafayette -- we couldn't wait.

They watched some action though . . .
