Rollin' down 80

Yesterday was the most peaceful day of the journey. We stuck to Highway 80 traveling through the last little bit of Illinois, all of Iowa, and we hit a little bit of traffic outside Omaha. I love Iowa drivers and I love the small-faced sunflowers that grow like weeds on the side of the Western Iowa/Eastern Nebraska roads.

If you find yourself in this bit of country traveling without a furry feline friend in 100 degree weather, you might want to visit the following places (signs of which we passed along the way):

• Ronald Reagan's birthplace
• WOW! World's Largest Truck Stop
• Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum
• Amana Colonies
• The Danish Immigrant Museum
• Union Pacific Railroad Museum
• The bridge in Council Bluffs that reminds me of Edward Scissorhands

Final push today...

Today's tunes:
Illinois - Sufjan Stevens (okay... maybe I listened to this in Iowa and not Illinois, but I had to...)
