What do you do when the weather is looking good, the drop zone is open, and you don't have to cook? The short answer...Skip Thanksgiving!

My mom had been talking about jumping for nearly a decade! The day was finally here!
When we woke up on Sunday morning, we decided it would be best if we went straight home. Kentucky was out.
Original Goal...five states in four days. DONE! And...it was only noon on Saturday. Could we get a sixth state? If so, which one?
Since Kentucky was out, we needed to find an alternative place to go. Great Lakes Skydiving was located in Beloit, Wisconsin - less than 100 miles away from Skydive Chicago!
Things fell into place at Tecumseh and it was a breeze at Skydive Ft Wayne, would it be possible that our luck would hold out at Skydive Chicago?
On the way to Skydive Ft. Wayne (AKA Gravity Powered Sports), we discovered a TON of yard sales. We were surprised because it was a Friday. Do any of these people work?
We started our morning with a wonderful breakfast and wondered where we'd end up that night?
With only 4 states left to go, we got in the car and started our drive the next drop zone in Tecumseh, Michigan.
Our five state adventure was started in Ohio at Start Skydiving in Middletown, Ohio (511 miles from house).
