Midwest Summer Tour 2014

In the grand tradition of Clark W. Griswold and the great family road trip, the Doudts packed up the ol' sportwagon and made the trek back to the Midwest.



A few stats to consider over the 13 day trip:
- 35+ hours on the road
- Over 2000 miles driven
- 7 States driven through (twice)
- Over 15 Starbursts consumed by Sara
- At least 4 candy bars consumed
- 0 "blowouts" by the kids (a huge upset for the Vegas odds)
- 30 minutes of drive time through near-tornado-like conditions
- 4 tunnels through mountains
- 6 tollbooths
- 0 Wrong turns
- 0 Speeding tickets (another huge upset for Vegas)
- 0 iPad time for the kids
- Countless "truck, truck, truck" excited screams by Xavier
- 2 Great Grandmas visited multiple times
- 2 Sets of Grandmas and Grandpas visited multiple times
- 5 nephews played with
