These would be our Gluten Free and healthy options at the Service Plaza. Pricey little fruit cups, but at least there are some options. The scenery is getting more and more beautiful. More green and lush. Beautiful little 2-3 story homes / homesteads with barns and farms. Taking lots of deep breaths and breathing it all in!
More penny squishers! We like penny squishers!
Ohio has many interesting billboard signs.
Lots of insurance ads "Call me if you are in an accident" Also noticed some poor grammar are signs ... "Earn your Doctor getting your Physiotherapy." hummmm

Travel rest stop areas are now called "Service Plaza's". Most have restaurants and showers with a truckers lounge, etc. Lots of tourist info and they are clean and great to stop at. Finally saw a highway sign saying $300 fine for littering.
We are very focused with getting to Pennsylvania to see my friend and her family. Just keep driving!
We're noticing lots of white blooms on trees in Philadelphia area and then some brilliant purple ones.
We've started to see lots of corn fields...everything is looking freshly greened up. Lots of little churches around as well. Wish we could stop and join in on a Sunday morning service.
Pennsylvania has lots of rolling hills and the trees are blooming end of April. We saw a Tom Turkey and hens just after we went through a toll. We're glad it's raining, or we would want to stop and enjoy this scenery more. All agreed that it must be stunning in the fall... so many varieties of trees would make for brilliant leaves. Gregg was surprised by the large rock formations and how beautiful it was. I heard him saw "Now I know why you wanted to come back here so badly!"
It is getting late and we are getting a little giddy... excited to be entering Pennsylvania and our first destination!
Most of the barns look old, but the houses look well kept.

| Factories in Pennsylvania |
There seems to be lots of industry here too. Passed many vehicle factories, etc.

| Lots of rain makes for blurry photos from the vehicle |
We noticed just how wide and large the rivers are... The Ohio, the Mississippi. We were talking about the Road to Freedom book with Julily trying to escape slavery and having to cross these rivers and walk through the dense terrain...sure put it into perspective!
