We Made It!

Michelle and I officially arrived in Salt Lake City Tuesday Night at 12:30 EST or 10:30 Mountain Time.

We were totally hardcore and drove straight through in only two days!

Here are a few thoughts from the trip (in geographical order):
1) Driving through Chicago wasn't as bad as we expected. The one hour time difference saved us because we ended up driving around down town at 3:30 instead of 4:30, which I expect would have been much worse.

2) The biggest truck stop in the world is in Iowa and, not surprisingly, it was quite large.

3) Storms in Iowa are scary... We drove through a major lightning storm with 3/4 inch hail and lightning striking all around us. It helped us stay awake but very scary.

4) The Omaha Zoo looks like sooooo much fun!! If we weren't such hardcore cross country drivers we would have stopped to play with monkeys.

5) Nebraska is very very very large and there is very very very little to look at.

6) Wyoming was really cool! Not many cities but the mountains were gorgeous!

7) Did you know there is an Abe Lincoln monument in Whyoming? It's a big statue of Lincolns head about 8,000 ft high. Again, we almost stopped. (c;

8) Driving into Salt Lake City at night is gorgeous!

Walky talkies are a must when you are driving with two cars! It was a great trip and we are happy to be here!

Tonight we are going to see Iron Man!!!
