Some of you may remember my road trip last month from Colorado to Ohio. I thought I would share a few photos from that non-stop whirlwind tour. We started bright and early on a Saturday morning and made it to our destination by Sunday night. That is pretty good time for 1300 miles. We had a fun family visit squeezed in between our obligations before we headed home. On the return trip we had one little glitch of a spark coil going bad on our truck. Apparently, our desert rat truck did not like the humidity either. Then it was back on the road. Some of these photographs were taken in a moving vehicle at interstate speeds. That might explain some of the blur and bugs!
Glass Building
This glass church with post and beam construction is exceptionally beautiful.

Rob's Nap
Rob takes a nap in the jump seat of the truck. He ended up in many peculiar positions trying to get comfortable but this was the cutest.

Jordan Truck
Michael Jordan's head. Just one of the unusual sights on I-80 somewhere in Indiana near Chicago.

Worst Moment
Our truck breaks down in Iowa City. We spent the evening and next morning with repairs sitting in this parking lot.

Road Weary
After almost 2600 miles of driving within six days, we are all a bit weary.

Thanks for sharing your trip Julie
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm tired just thinking about what a long trip to make in such a short time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great pictures along the way and
for the beautiful Colorado welcome home!
We're happy to have you back :)
Thank you for sharing your adventures, Julie! Rob is absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing your trip, Julie! You got some really cool shots. I know how tricky it can be shooting out of a moving car, so I'm very impressed! That church is way cool. You have some sweet and lovely pictures here.
ReplyDeleteLove the geodesic dome and the sunset! Nice shots while moving that fast
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your wonderful photos Julie. In a few years time I'll be travelling with my sister across America starting from New York City to LA and I can't wait to see it again, this time I'll be chronicling my journeys and hopefully my photos will turn out as good as yours :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool set of photos. They work nicely together to tell the story of a cross-country, mid-America trip. The sunset is an amazing welcome home!
ReplyDeleteThat glass church is amazing Julie! Looks like you saw some really wonderful things on your trip. Such a cute photo of Rob!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!

Thank you all for the wonderful comments. I loved the glass church too and would have enjoyed stopping to get some better photos. The sunset was a welcome home that amazed us. It penetrated just how much we love Colorado!
ReplyDeleteBTW, a friend translated the Chinese comment from EulaliaS. It was so beautiful I wanted to share it with all of you.

new water."
Cheers!

Love these, Julie! Thank you for sharing your trip with us through these photos! Love the dome and the church! And such sweet pics of your dog and your mother with her great-grandchild!
ReplyDeleteThank You, Julie, for sharing your trip with us.

Thanks, Julie! I almost feel like I went along ... but without the car trouble! Ha! Loved all the shots. When we lived in the mid-West those happy face water towers were often the pick-me-up we needed on a long flat stretch. I loved it, and all your shots. Rob was cute, but so was Dulcie, keeping Ric company while driving. Great chronicle of the whole trip.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a fun trip! Great images! Love the wind turbines!
ReplyDeletethough the glass church and the sunset are my favorite shots i'm most impressed that your mother is a great grandmother (4 times). she's clearly taken care of her health really well. i'm sure she's happy to see all these babies wondering around her house too. glad you had a nice trip. have a great day.
