We made it to North Platte, Nebraska by about 4:30 pm. 12 hours of driving but it went great. I can honestly say that we were all smiling and enjoying each other when we arrived and we didn't have a single meltdown all day. There were actually several occasions when the kids said, "This is so fun!" Hopefully the fun will continue tomorrow.
We've settled into our hotel, had a swim at the pool and ate at Perkins. It's now 8:00 and we should probably hit the sack early- Evan and I haven't slept since 4:30 this morning but Mark and Em did nap a bit. We have a free breakfast buffet that starts serving at 6:30 and we plan hit the road after that. We have about another 12 hours to go tomorrow.
I wish I had some beautiful pictures to post but Iowa and Nebraska just don't offer that. We're really looking forward to the first sight of mountains tomorrow.
It was a great "Day 1" of this adventure. We'll check back in on Day 2.
