We made it through Nebraska and most of Iowa – last night we stayed in Williamsburg, Iowa. Day 3 was our most unexciting day so far – Nebraska was very flat, and there wasn’t a lot to see or stop at. But, we powered through, and went 100 miles further than planned! Today is our longest day – we’re going all the way to Cleveland tonight!
Highlights of Day 3:
- Iowa replaced Idaho for the best rest areas.
- We finished ”Assassination Vacation” on audiobook (it was great – thanks for the Suggestion, dawn!) and we also listened to the Rock of Ages soundtrack.
- Our state count is up to 6: Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska and Iowa
- Iowa’s state sign is on a bridge, so there was no pulling over. :[ but we still got a picture.
- At one point, I started playing with my camera, and accidently deleted a bunch of pictures. :[ We stopped at a rest area in Nebraska that was an Oregon Trail landmark, and you could still stand in depressions left by the pioneers and their wagons. It was really neat, and I deleted the photos on accident. bummer.
I think that the lack of highlights is reflected in the photos I took: less pictures from this day!
