Let me just start off by saying WE LOVE CHICAGO! There is way to much to do, and we have way to much fun doing it. I finally figured out how to get pictures from my camera onto the computer, so I think that I will have to make a couple posts to fill you in on everything we have been up to! I will start with our first week as a married couple.
June 17:
- We got married
- We partied
- We stayed in the Marriott Park City
June 18:
- We woke up later than expected
- Stopped by the Swing/Dudley residence for some brunch
- Finally left on our road trip at about one o'clock (later than expected)
- Luckily, we had a nice new Accord (HUGE thanks to Julie and Russ :)
- Drove through Wyoming, boring
- Drove through Nebraska, even more boring
- Stopped in North Platte, Nebraska right in time for Nebraskaland days!
 |
We had never heard of this, but it might just be worth the drive again to get the full experience
|
June 19:
- Left North Platte early (9 a.m...), ate some breakfast with some cowboys, and then got back on the road.
- Made it through Nebraska's awful roads, and reached Iowa.
- Iowa drivers are awful, worse than Utah
- Passed the largest Dairy farm we had ever seen. There had to be at least 1 million cows, all standing a foot apart.
- Passed Mitchellville (shout out to our brothers)
- Ate lunch at Granny's Kitchen at THE WORLD'S LARGEST TRUCK STOP!
 |
There was a museum and everything.
|
- Eventually made it through Iowa (we did not enjoy Iowa) and then to Chicago!
- Michael was a trooper and drove the WHOLE way, all 22 hours.
- We checked into our hotel for the week, and were grateful to be done with our road trip.
