Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska...

It's hard to believe that three days ago, I was in Florida. And now, after 27 or so hours of driving, I am in Omaha, Nebraska. Today, I drove through several states that I have only heard about but had never actually seen--not even in movies, because nobody puts Iowa or Illinois (unless it's Chicago) in a movie. Lots of land, y'all. And fields. And wind farms. We got really excited about the wind farms, I guess because it meant a change in scenery.

We also had a run in with a few storms, the worst one being when we arrived in Omaha. The clouds were more than just ominous; they were pre-tornado, as far as any of us were concerned. Once we reached our destination for the day, we saw on the news that there were, in fact, tornado warnings; it's a good thing we got here when we did.

I'm just going to leave you with a few pictures, and leave the rest to your imagination. Don't worry. I'll update you again soon!







That's all for now. Don't be freaked out, Mom.

Love,
lvp

  1. funny post! Glad you got to see some land, and the new crop of windmills. I'm not freaked out, promise. Except that you posted at 5:16am (would that really be 3:16am EST?) and I hope you are not driving drowsy. it's a mom thing. Love you dearly!!!
