On the road again...

After more cross-country trips than we can count, Cody and I have become quite fond of the memories made while on the road.  When you spend 30+ hours on what seems to be a never-ending road, you get super excited about the littlest things.  Here are a few things we got excited about while traveling from Indy to Seattle, then down to Utah and up to Wyoming:

• Speed limit increasing to 75 mph

• World’s largest truck stop
  

• Peach rings to go with your peach flavored water!
  

• 2-digit mile markers (state line is approaching!)
  

• State welcome signs (We have hit 11 states so far on this trip: Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming)

• Finally a different interstate than I-80 (i.e. I-90... seriously so beautiful!)
  

• Large statues of cattle, dinosaurs, and green men
  

• Gas mileage over 25 mpg with about 250 lbs. of luggage and STUFF!
  

• Car naps over one hour
  

• Lakes, rivers, and bridges!
  

• Internet hot-spots on the road. 

• Places like Wall Drug!  We came across this super fun family rest stop.  Jaden was getting restless and we were just a half-hour away from our hotel, but we couldn't resist checking this baby out!  We spent two hours learning about it's history and just livin' it up!:)

That's what it said, so that's what we did.

• “Scenic overlook” exits

• Stinkin’ cool cars
  

• Detours- bah 

• Bug guts splattered everywhere!

• Birds darting in front of our car to impress their lady friends.  For reals, do they just sit on the side of the road and wait until the very last second to cross the road? 

• National Attractions (i.e. Snoqualmie National Forest, Mt. Rainier National Park)
  

• Finally arriving at Grandma's house!!!:)
