Off to Chicago! 791 miles away from New York; (Tyler is getting tired of Amber blaring Britney Spears through the radio at this point) ~~~~~~~~~~~OOPS I DID IT AGAIN~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chicago has a population of million people Of course we had to stop in for some Chicago-style-deep- dish-pizza. They made their way to the well known Lincoln Park Zoo so Tyler could see the elephants blow water out of their nostrils. They went to Chicago for the pizza. No shame. Plus one day in New York is one day too many!

AUSTIN, TEXAS Amber forced Tyler to bring his cowboy boots and wrangler jeans because she wanted to go Honky-Tonkin’! She’s the party animal of the duo. 1,170 miles from Chicago Population: 885,400 people Before they traveled to their activities, they stopped for a big ol’ juicy steak. Their nightly activities consisted of pool halls, loud music, too much air in the smoke and 10^4 too many adult beverages. They chose this destination because Amber wanted to show Tyler that ladies love country boys…according to Trace Adkins.

LAST STOP: The endless fields of Milwaukee…Literally…endless………… ………. Milwaukee is about 91 miles from Austin. (Tyler had to drive, Amber wasn’t feeling too great the next morning after a LONG night in Austin.) Population: a whopping 599,164 people. Tyler had to stop and chow on some bratwurst…Amber preferred water. A lot of water. Tyler then forced Amber through an excruciating tour through the Harley Davidson museum in Milwaukee. They traveled to this destination because Tyler secretly wants to be a biker man. Tyler

Details The two college students discovered some interesting aspects about the cities they visited, and made some unforgettable memories. Beginning in Danville, they started their way to Philadelphia to enjoy some delicious famous Philly Cheesesteak and seeing the Liberty Bell first hand. After fueling the vehicle and their bodies, they made their way to New York City where cheesecake and people are plentiful. Tyler lost a bet when they went whirling on the Cyclone at Coney Island Amusement Park…he whirled a little too much. After gathering their thoughts, they then made their way to Chicago for some pizza and Tyler went to find his beloved elephants. After the zoo, Amber was ready to party, so the dynamic duo hit the famous Austin City, Texas…a memorable yet foggy night. The next morning, Tyler was chipper and ready to hit the road and Amber…well let’s just say the city of Austin won…so they went to Milwaukee where there is open fields for miles…and miles and miles and miles, so Tyler livened up the day by touring the Harley Davidson Museum (almost the only attraction in the city). After an eventful few days, the two made their way back to Danville and lived to tell the story! Bloopers to follow…
