Chasing Color: Day 2

Tuesday...the land is flat,long and wide open. These stretches of road feel weary and just as you feel you cannot stand another mile something crazy appears on the roadside!! I look up just in time to see a huge T-Rex, what was that?? The landscape seems to change right past this crazy siting and we soon approach the capitol city, Lincoln.
We are soooo ready to take a break...perfect timing to stop for a bit at the Sunken Gardens. What a beautiful job the people of Lincoln have done converting an eyesore into a place of beauty and serenity! We snapped lots of pictures, gazed at the water lilies and koi before heading to our dinner destination an hour away in Omaha. Looking for some tasty Mediterranean food in Omaha? Mediterranean Bistro has a yummy menu ;) Feeling quite satisfied we jump back in the car heading toward our final destination of this day... Smiths Bed & Breakfast. Although we really prefer to enjoy B&B longer this stay will only be a quick stop...I hope the beds are comfy , this has been a long day.

Chasing Color Day 1

Fall is coming in full regalia, I'm so excited to be on the road and chasing the colors of fall... Beginning in my home state ...all the way to Vermont and possibly beyond!!!! Road Trip, whoo-hoo!!
We left Sunday in the late afternoon enjoying the beauty in our home state of Utah. Eventually as we drove on toward Colorado we began to see glimpses of color...Spanish Fork Canyon is alive with hues of yellow, orange and gorgeous reds.
We made it as far as Glenwood Springs. Dear friends put us up for the night, fed us a yummy breakfast and we all filled up on stories of our lives in between since our last visit. It was hard saying goodbye but promises of another visit reminded us of our destination... Ahhh on to chasing color!
Monday: Heading toward Denver we just had one more stop...our dear friends the Huss family. Although we hadn't planned to, Karen tempted us with Dinner...Cincinnati Chili io ohhhh yum! We had a wonderful visit with Karen, Pete, Chemaine, Heidi, Tyler, Maurielle, Jeremiah and little Sophie too! We drove on to North Platte Nebraska before calling it a night.
