Day 1/2
So we made it to Kansas City which marks the half way point
in our cross county journey. In a few days we will head to North Carolina to
see the majority of Tom's family before heading to Tennessee. We have decided
to stop along the way to North Carolina to see several tourist sites. That will
really help break the trip up and will be really fun for us.
So first thing I want to write about is all the (now funny)
disasters that have happened along this trip. In Wyoming we pulled into a hotel
at about 2am to stay the night. Tom and I both agree that it was the nastiest
hotel either one of us has stayed out. Then after a few hours of sleep we made
our way to Missouri. The wind through Nebraska was ridiculously strong, so
strong it ripped Tom's brand new bike off the bike rack. Luckily, the driver
behind us swerved and missed it. Tom
walked the highway and found the bike, it was amazing, only the wheels were
really damaged. We made it to Missouri and in helping Tom's grandma prepare to
sell her house we ended up pulling a whole bunch of poison ivy.

Day 3
Lately things have calmed down and I now have
nothing but positive things to say.
We got Tom's sweet grandma all moved, caught a few
fireflies, and headed out the door to St. Louis, MO. There we saw the arch and
rode up to the very top, I have never done anything like that before! We ate at
the best root beer restaurant ever! It was so so good! We finished the night
off by looking over the Mississippi River. Tomorrow we head to the country
music capital of the world, Nashville, TN. It has been so fun to road trip
cross-county with my mother-in-law and husband, I am seeing and experiencing so
many new things!Mississippi River |
In other news, we just got Tom's orientation schedule for
his program and purchased him a bunch of scrubs. He is getting set for school,
it is very exciting. Only a few weeks left!
