Our return to Alaska begins with a night's stay in the wilderness of Indiana, right off the interstate, at a KOA 2-room cabin. The drive itself was pretty uneventful...for adults....
"So many cool things that can be on trips!" Macy shouts out as we pass over a bridge.
The car rode well and we only had to endure about 30 minutes of rain, not quite enough to soak our camping gear, thankfully.
"At least I got a carrot." Gavin interrupted a prolonged silence with this unexplained exclamation.
The cabin staff were super friendly, had warm cookies and chocolates all ready for us, which was good because we just had to endure an hour of Arwen's screaming, extended when Indiana moved forward and closed our on-ramp and privileged us with a ten-mile detour through Terre Haute.
There was a dog treat for Thora and a fenced-in doggie playground with a cute fire hydrant for the boys. Cable tv on a 13 inch television. Breakfast was cheap, simple, and good, eggs for us boring adults and pancakes for the kids.
On a side note, the cafe was playing Live with Regis and NotKathieLee and they played a clip of Jennifer Anniston wearing nothing but a lab coat and her undies. We were of course horrified and made all the kids look away. Molly was in her own world not listening, and I watched as she looked up at the television, pointed and shouted "Look!" while laughing hysterically. Obviously not easily embarrassed.
There was just enough time in the day to feed the on-site donkeys and play on the playground. We give Terre Haute KOA 4 stars, as there was a good bit of sand on the cabin floor when we arrived. *update- due to the quality of the other stays on this trip I am bumping this one up to 5 stars... seriously the sand was just an inconvenience.
We were all pretty stinky and wore the same sweaty clothes for 2 days, but we survived the Wilderness of Indiana.
