Family Road Trip (Part 1)

We spent the last 2 weeks living out a van and sleeping in a tent (mostly). We looped from Indiana to Salt Lake City, and back again, taking a different route there and back. I think I took about 1500 pictures. Definitely over 1000. Don't worry, I won't be posting them all. I'll just do some highlights, one leg-of-the-journey at a time.


Indiana to Missouri
The drive was boring. I won't bore you with pictures of that (just wait til we get to Kansas). The most exciting thing was probably crossing the Mississippi.




visiting Aunt Alli in KCMO

Alli showed us around her town, taking us to the fountains

and the Cheesecake Factory

Breakfast the next morning at our campsite


This was cool to drive by. The night before, it was all lit up and full of people, but I didn't have my camera ready, so this was the best I could do.
Missouri is HOT and HUMID 24/7. But it's a surprisingly pretty state to drive through. Lots of green rolling hills. I had no idea.

Alli took us to this water park, which was a great way to spend a 95 degree day! I didn't bring my camera in though, because we spent the day getting wet! Had a great time though.

After a long day of fun in the sun, we went to dinner at Joe's. We'd never been there before, so it was a fun treat.

Alli and Derrick shared a pot of crab

Chillin at the campsite in the evening.



And that's all for now... Stay tuned for the next episode, Missouri to Colorado.
