Pictures from our road trip

Here are some pics of the kids & dog along the car trip!


















Here is a picture of those that came to our going away party. Such a fine group of people we are leaving behind!







This is one of those peaceful serene valleys that were just a neat setting. Lots of these pretty backrounds from Utah! Amazing rock formations. Many of these were taken as we were driving by so sorry for the lack of clarity!















More of Utah....... just gorgeous there!




























The "Your in Wyoming" sign...... lots of desert and pretty much nothing picture worthy!




This was at a very neat rest stop . It depicted the way that the Native Americans and the English folks would greet each other and what they would trade! Cool homeschooling moment!







Neat hisory lesson about the highway we were traveling on and WHY the highway system was developed..... Thanks to Grandpa there was a pretty accurate history lesson.







Here is a pretty amazing rainbow that came during an intense lightening/rain storm in Kansas. It was the most dramatic rainstorm and amazing lightening display I have ever seen.....













Here are some picture of the big metal arch that they built in St Louis! Grandpa says the Arch is a gateway, symbolizing the fact that St. Louis was the gateway to the west in the old days...... as a matter of fact it is called the Gateway Arch.

Side view; it is quite enormously huge!





This picture was taken in St Louis....... the reason I took it was because the building is abandoned except for the plants growing out of the bricks! CRAZY weird!














Here was a very pretty setting somewhere.... Kansas City, maybe?













Here is a "welcome to Kentucky" sign.
