Road trip to Michigan

Across the plains there were a lot of farm homes and about a mile between the next one, the land was really flat, it was so fun to see. I have never been this far east before.
As we traveled across the country we saw a lot of wind farms, especially in Wyoming and Nebraska

We stayed in Lincoln Nebraska with a friend of Graydon's
They were very kind to let us stay there.



The Nebraska State Capitol was built by the Army core of engineers during the depression, to help get people back to work.
I was really excited to see the Mississippi river, We crossed it over a bridge and I took a video of it. this is a swamp by it.
It was really neat to see.

Amtrak ride to Denver

We decided to take a trip on the Amtrak with Carl & Marilyn to Denver
We each got our own little bedroom, and we were off.

Once we got to Denver we walked to our hotel, Over the bridge.

We went to the Cave of the winds in Colorado Springs
it got it's name because the man who discovered it heard the wind whistling
through it.

Then we went to the Cheyenne Zoo in Colorado Springs
The giraffes were the best part of the zoo.
They were in a pen where they could come right up to
you. it was really neat.
