Traveling to Deleware....

There was a forest fire in the mountains and we could see the smoke, you may have seen something about this on the news!!!

Hey everyone!!! Well, traveling these past couple days has been absolutely crazy!!!  We have been having a ridiculous amount of fun on the road!!! Sunday was our first travel day.  We drove through Colorado, Wyoming, and stopped for the night in Omaha, Nebraska.  I saw tumbleweeds, antelope, buffalo, and some corn.  It was wonderful!  We re-entered the central time zone which was soooo nice!!!  We stayed at a double tree inn in Omaha Nebraska and they gave us free cookies!!!

This is what we stared at while driving for 9 hours the first day!!!

Melissa really wanted grapes, so we went to walmart and she washed them in the walmart bathroom sink ahhahaa

The Concordia in Nebraska

There were windmills everywhere!!!!

Melissa was pretending that the elevator was a ride...she was entertaining herself

 On our second day we traveled through the rest of Nebraska, Iowa, and we stopped in Yorkville, Illinois where Chris lives.  We stayed there for the night, and on Wednesday we went to Chicago for the day and then stayed at my house for the night!!!!  I got to see my family and Tricia which was sooo nice!!!!
