We took a quick photo in the lobby of the hotel this morning before going to breakfast.
So this morning found us freezing in our shorts and T-shirts. The wind was blowing 35 miles an hour and the temperature was 53 degrees this morning. Big change from the 95 degree plus weather from yesterday. The girls had each packed a jacket. I tried to go to WalMart to find a sweatshirt but of course, they have all their summer clothes out for sale. Oh well, that is what they make us strong farm girls of...grit and determination.
This is the first time I have gone this far north to drive. Years ago I was in Cheyenne for Frontier Days. But I do mean YEARS ago. So heading west out of Cheyenne was all new territory for me to see. First we started seeing lots of well needed road construction. Not the most pleasant way to drive, but it's doable.
On a side note here. Mark I found our house for sale. Here are the photos!
I had completely forgot that we would actually be going through Utah and most specifically, Salt Lake City, Utah for part of todays journey. I have been in the airport in SLC once....but that was the extent of my time in their fair city. We hit it at 5PM rush hour :) The girls tried to snap some photos for me as we either zoomed along or was crawling along with traffic :) This reminds me why we don't live in the big city anymore.
About 30 miles west of Salt Lake City 99% of the traffic we were flowing with pulled off. That is when we got a good look at the Great Salt Basin Lake. And for the next 2 hours we saw salt, salt and more salt :) I think that was about the time Zora asked me if I was alive when dinosaurs walked the earth? Uh? Seriously Zora? I am old, but not quite that ancient!! That was good for one of the laughs of the day :)
We finally arrived in Elko, Nevada about just in time to see the last 15 minutes and see who Jo Jo sent home on the Bachelorette. Then we grabbed something to eat and off to bed. Tomorrow Nevada and California!
