Odele and Leslie played bartender for us as we waited for Brent to get home. Milo was busy eating peanutbutter and ice.

We had dinner with Ben and Helen tonight (the grandparents) and ate too much but also setup a new Microsoft LifeCam so we can do full-screen video with them from London.

Heading to Chicago

We are in Des Moines, Iowa tonight (Wednesday, Sept 20) and will be in Chicago for the next few nights. In between visiting friends and family, we are contempating what to do. On our short list of possibilities include:

Of course, much of the "cultural" items will be available daily in London too, so if we don’t catch it now, we can catch similar things once we are there.

Not much else to see in Nebraska, but we did see some Buffalo Bill stuff at the Cody Fort this morning. We are heading to Des Moines, Iowa and will probaby see more corn.

No White Laundry

Alright, so we’ve been on the road now for a while and this is the first blog entry by Lorie (me). Most importantly, I’d like to expound on the benefits of never ever traveling with white laundry. One load, no white t-shirts to deal with, and we’re back on the road, fresh & happy. Highly recommend this method of traveling – and REI sells men’s tighty grays, blacks or blue’s in case those are needed :)

We left Winter Park this morning and just had lunch with Jeff. We are now on the way to Nebraska!

On the road: From Salt Lake City to Chicago

September 18, 2006 Leave a comment
We are in Rawlins, Wyoming tonight (Sunday) and plan to be in Winter Park, Colorado on Monday night, then cruising through Denver over to North Platte, Nebraska. I wouldn’t consider most of these stops all that exciting, but at lease we are seeing some parts of the country we hadn’t before. Most of the time, many of the small towns (some are basically trailer parks) makes us look forward to London all that much more.

We got to Berkeley on Monday and went to the dog park to have Milo burn off some energy and to give him a bath. We plan to drive to Reno on Thursday.
