Day Three: East Lansing, MI to Momence, IL

Today we said goodbye to East Lansing and headed over to Jess' hometown of Momence, IL.

Before we left, we stopped by Panera for a quick lunch. Jess ordered her usual: cheddar broccoli soup in a bread bowl. Feeling generous, we gave the bowl to Emma, who literally bit off more than she could chew (see below).

After a (relatively) short four hour drive, we made it to Momence, where Jess' dad had set up a bonfire for everyone to come over and eat, drink and be merry. Emma even had about five extra friends to play with. Enjoy!
