Roadtrip to USA's

Tuesday afternoon around 1:00pm we found out that Chris and Bob had been accepted into the USA Track and Field Championships in Des Moines, Iowa. It was too late and far too expensive to buy plane tickets out, so instead we opted to road trip it all the way to Iowa.

I quickly packed while Chris drove home from work in Salt Lake, we swung by the store to stock up on food for the trip, and then we set off around 5 pm.

The 1,080 mile trip

We stopped in Cheyenne, Wyoming that night and the only hotel room that was available was a room with 2 twin beds at the Plain's Hotel.


On Wednesday we saw this for about 8 hours all the way from Cheyenne to Des Moines
Nebraska really is just one big cornfield


After we got into Des Moines we met up with the team at Cheesecake Factory. It was Dustin's birthday, and we also ordered a piece of White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake to celebrate Chris' birthday a few days early
