The week with family and friends in Naperville flew by, and before we knew it, we were back on the road again. At around 7:30 a.m., we drove off and followed the same route we had taken in the spring.
Crossing Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania felt familiar; however, the scenery was completely different this time, with sunny skies and the golden colors of fall.
An Afternoon with Tranquility
By afternoon, we arrived in Erie and checked into the Red Roof Hotel downtown. After unpacking and settling in, we decided not to head back out. Instead, we enjoyed a simple evening with snacks, drinks, and a quiet dinner in our room—Hemmes purring contentedly beside us.
After an active week and a long drive, slowing down felt just like the only right thing to do.
