Chicago Bound

Matt and I got married on Saturday and Monday we hit the road for

Chicago. We drove through 3 states not including Utah and Illinois before

we got to Chicago; Wyoming, Nebraska, and Iowa. We made one stop to eat in

Cheynne, Wyoming.

Wyoming was the slowest state to drive through cause literally they

had construction from the time we entered state until we left the state.

There was only maybe 15 miles of highway where we did not have construction.

We finally made it into Nebraska and just when we thougth we'd have a

break from all the construction at least for like 10 miles we ran into construction

in Nebraska. We finally made to Ogallala, Nebraka where we decided to stay the night.

Now Ogallala was a nice small town but I have never seen so many black bugs in

my life all over the place. The were everywhere. We decided to stop in

North Platte, Nebraska to see some the sights the town had to offer.

We saw a Railroad museum, we drove over one of the biggest

railroad yards in the U.S., we saw Buffalo Bill's house, and we saw

the 2oth Centrey Vetren's memorial. Our last stop in Nebraska was

Lincoln where we stop and ate at Cracker Barrell.

As we were on the border of Nebraska and Iowa we saw the Mississippi River

that thing is huge. We decided we were going to sleep in Des Moines but when we got there

all of the rooms were booked in the area and the closest place that we could

find a room was in Newton, Iowa which was another hour, hour and a half away.

We finally maded it to Homer Glen, IL the next day which is for those of you who don't know is where Matt is from.

Mississippi River

Mmm.... Cracker Barrell.

The Memorial

This was such an amazing place to visit they have great

display to honor the men and women of armed services and that

have fought for our country. I am so proud to be part of this country.

I am so thankful for all the men and women who have and are serving in

our armed services to protect this great contry we live in.

The Legandary house. The property was so big and the house was to.

The tourist guide said a lot of the stuff in the house is donated cause a few

years back someone vandelized a lot of the stuff in the home.

The Legandary Buffalo's

The Legandary Buffalo Bill

I had to take a picture of this cause it brought back

childhood memories and seeing all my Dad's Safety First stuff he had for work.

I was so afraid to get on this train I am afraid of heights and bees

and it was high and there were lots of bees.

The Long Construction!!!!
