    Getting that baseball is great luck! You will always remember the very second you got it, when you pick it up on your boat!

    Danni, we are watching this vlog right now and are gobsmacked that she caught a baseball. We lived here all of our lives and never even came close to getting a game ball.

      Haha definitely pot luck, something we will treasure and have somewhere on display in our boat!

    Glad you are enjoying Chicago and Illinois. I was born in Chicago a Loooong time ago, before all the Interstate Highways were built. Hope you can stop in and see President Lincoln's home in Springfield. Enjoy your trip it's going to be a long one!

    Being from Springfield, Illinois, I am having such fun watching your journey. Of course, you must have a Cozy Dog. Can’t wait for the next Vlog! A Cubs Cardinal game would have made your visit to Chicago perfect. ⚾️

    Hey Joe and Danni, thanks for the update on your vacation journey. I see you were able to take in some of the popular tourist attractions, which is great! As you have probably noticed by now, many large cities have a particular food they are famous for so, enjoy the traditions. It is so good you are traveling a US highway (and US-66 is one of the most famous), they give you a chance to see small town Americana from the past plus, present a much more relaxing a pace. As you also noticed, drivers on the Interstate highways are usually interested in getting from point A to point B as quickly as possible. I"m sure some of your Vlog fans along your route would be happy to put you up for the night free of charge. I'm glad you are taking so many pictures, with the amount of things you are doing on this trip, the pictures will come in handy to fill in the gaps in memory of the good times in years to come. I suspect it will take a week to recover once you return home but, enjoy and make best use of your time here! - Cheers!

    • @ItsOhJoe
      @ItsOhJoe  2 года назад +1

      Thank you for watching! Yes I think driving Route 66 makes to stop in smaller towns rather than when you have plans just to go from city to city, it has been incredible! Yes we have lots of photos on our phones for sure, lovely to look back at these videos too to remember our adventure. Thanks for watching 😊

    Ah, Bloomington/Normal. My son spent an exchange year there as part of his American Studies degree back in 2005. I've seen more in your short time there than he brought home after a year away. I think he spent a lot of weekends on that long commute to/from Chicago either by bus or train. Gemini Giant was in Hairy Bikers TV series too. I really enjoy all your videos.

    • @ItsOhJoe

    Guys, you produce my kind of travel vlog. Absolutely brilliant viewing! We are so enjoying coming along with you on your vacation. I've heard the expression, "to hit one out of the ball park" and you pretty much experienced that, wow! Loving Route 66 and looking forward to next week xxx

    That tornado warning brings to mind a question: Does your rental Jeep's excess insurance cover things like what meteorologist/stormchaser/RUclipsr Dr. Reed Timmer has happen to his vehicles? ;D

    • @ItsOhJoe

      Haha we are not doing any storm chasing (if it was up to Joe it would be a different story)!

    Another name for Joe's stadium seating choice is 'nosebleed seats'. I'll leave it to Danni the paid healthcare professional to deduce the reason and explain it to him. ;)
