Josh, his wife, Anna, and their three kids are RVing from DC to Chicago. They are heading to a gender reveal party for Anna's sister, Priscilla. Even though Chicago is only a half day drive straight through, they are traveling "Duggar style" and planning several stops along the way. But the RV proves to be the least reliable mode of transportation.
First stop: a fruit stand in Amish Country for some healthy road trip snacks then off to The Loose Caboose RV Park to sleep for the night.
Second stop: Gettysburg, where the kids enjoyed the rocks. (The Duggar family is half the size of a Civil War Platoon.) Dressed in Civil War attire, the family gets their souvenir tin photo. Yep, 1800's 12 second delay with children.
Funny how Josh and Anna keep pointing things out but the kids can't see because they are in their carseats.
Third stop: Bedford, PA. The worlds largest coffee pot. Aka, Duggar-sized. (The Duggars drink more than 8,000 cups of coffee a year.)
Fourth stop: A car parts store. 200 miles to Byesville, OH for the night was the goal but the power steering goes out only a few miles outside of Pennsylvania. Luckily Josh has been stranded on the side of the road at least a dozen times due to car trouble.
Fifth stop: Indiana State Fair for a doughnut burger. But first, they must repair roof patch that has flown off the roof. (Josh estimates that he spends about $400 on RV repair annually.)
Sixth stop: Fair Oaks Dairy Farm. No road trip is complete without viewing a cow birthing center. I mean, if your family is full of non-stop pregnancies maybe it's important to learn about the birthing process even if it involves farm animals... ?
Seventh stop: Five days after their departure they finally make it to Chicago. But we won't know until next week what Priscilla is having or if Josh and Anna are having another!
