Lincoln-Day One

Monday, May 12th, 2008

So we made it to Lincoln just around the estamated 12 hours.  It took a tad longer based on our stops for lunch and the unexpected conversation with the Wyoming Highway Patrol officer.  If you would like a full story of why I was pulled over, feel free to ask, but I won’t post it all here today.

The drive didn’t seem as long as we thought.  We toughed it out well with just a little soreness by the end of the day.  It also didn’t help we lost an hour.  So far the city looks really nice to us.  We were so tired we didn’t go doing any other exploring today, but we will keep you all posted.

While driving across I-80 Traci and I played the license plate game.  We saw plates from 31 states and 4 Canadian providences.  We also saw and learned a little bit about Nebraska.  First, there is a giant archway over the interstate that is the Archway Monument.  You can see pictures in our galleries.  Also, we learned that Nebraska is the birth place of Kool Aid…”Oh Ya!”  There is a fun little fact for everyone.

So our plan is to have a few pictures and posts about each day.We will all talk with you soon!
