... another portion of America seen from the windows of my car. Fortunately the time passed quickly as we continued listening to our Michael Connelly book on tape (book on ipod? recorded book? i dunno. none have the same ring). We're regular detectives by this point the way we've been throwing out all sorts of conjectures about the murders. Harry Bosch is keeping us on our toes...erm...on the edges of our ...

Today started like many a man's dreams have. Yep, at the John Deere Commons. Drool guys, drool. Here there is a nice mini museum covering the line of John Deere farm equipment. And right next door is the John Deere Store. The store has more John Deere items for sale than any Cracker Barrel store I have ever been in. You name it, they have it. Including a very nice set of hand linens ...

Alright, i'm still at home and getting ready to go to the airport. My nerves are shot and i'm kinda sad that i'm leaving everyone for 2 weeks!! But it's going to be amazing and i just know everyone will be reading this and commenting to keep me happy and entertained... RIGHT????!!!!!<br><br>Also, i will miss my cats. ;)<br>

Well, it's been a long time planning and it's almost here. I've got only 46 hours left before i leave for France. I do hope you'll join me on my 2 week excursion to Europe. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you may even be appalled, but in any case you'll have nearly as much fun as me (ok, let's be honest, not even close, but you'll be alright). Talk to you soon!!<br><br>TTFN <br>

Wolfram Alpha kindly calculates that we are 12 weeks from depature to Buenos Aires, Argentina from Chicago. We going to leave even sooner to go to Chicago to visit Nick's brother Joe. <br>Time is ticking down. I look around the apartment at the things that will go. The things we'll pack and take to Omaha to store. <br><br> Will I want this in a year? Is it worth packing, storing and then moving with us to a new place?<br> What can I take with me ...

After a short drive from Omaha we made it to Lincoln, Nebraska. The small town home to the University of Nebraska. We parked on campus and walked around looking for places to take photos. We had some fun playing on some of the statues and goofing off. We saw alot of ...

... around the college, a campus that is spread out over a few city blocks. We learned that it was not only the first institution west of the Mississippi River to award doctoral degrees in 1896,but the college also celebrated its 140th anniversary of its founding on Feb 15th 2009. Home of the cornhuskers, the locals follow all the games at a variety of bars located nearby.<br> Jason and I had a delicious ...

The trip from Rawlins, Wyoming, to Lincoln, Nebraska, was a long one -- over 600 miles. It was a straight shot along I-80 with way too much road construction. (Again!) As expected, much of terrain was rather flat and boring. Lots of sagebrush for the first few hours, then lots of grassland, then lots of corn fields. <br><br>It was fantastic ...

Hola chicos! Just getting ready to leave for the Dominican Republic and we want to make sure everyone can get to this blog and read! We are flying out on the 12th of May and will arrive that night. The next day we are leaving Santo Domingo for our first destination, Bayahibe! Catch ya then!

My brother Craig and I stopped in Lincoln during my fabulous 1993 Moving to Chattanooga trip, September. Coming from a rainy night in Madison and a windy day in Des Moines (laughing) we were tired and hungry by the time we got to this cattle-smelling town. We drove a ways to a restaurant that had place mats with Presidents on them, so we studied and quizzed each other while waiting for our food ...
