Day 16 of Road Trip

Day 16

We wake up early in Chicago to get a head start on our LONG day of driving. The plan is to leave Chicago, drive through Iowa and Nebraska, to get to Colorado. It should take about 14.5 hours, but with food and potty stops it might take a bit longer.

GOODBYE CHICAGO!



Like most of the states and roads we've been in there is NOT a whole lot to see!




We made it to IOWA!

We have lots of driving ahead of us!


Driving across Iowa
For the John Wayne fans...


We didn't stop! But had to get a picture!


WELCOME TO NEBRASKA


Views around Nebraska





We keep adding the miles on this leg of the trip!


We are on our way!!


We made it! WELCOME TO COLORADO!!


Views around Colorado, that is before it got too dark to take anymore pictures!




After about 16 hours in the car, we made it to Denver, Colorado! When we pulled up to our hotel, there was a fire truck and police in front. It turns out that it was a false alarm, but everyone had been evacuated. We got there just in time to go in! We check in to find they didn't have our room, but fortunately we were upgraded! This time we had a whole extra room in our room!!

Time to sleep so we can be rested to the 4th of July and the Rockies game tomorrow!
