Well, it was finally time for the big trip. We had planned for 3 days to travel ~2100 miles to Bethesda.
I rented a trailer from U-Haul to pull behind my car. I know...it's hideous! Julie told me to make sure that I wear my sunglasses so no one would know that it was me pulling the ugly bomb shell! Thanks for the advice Julie. :)
We decided to take I-80 because there was a huge storm in Denver, CO which would make traveling on I-70 a little treacherous. We made good time for about 100 miles and then found out about a 100 car pile-up at Rock Springs, CO. We spent all afternoon in Rock Springs with 100s and 100s of semi-trucks!
After a few hours waiting in Rock Springs, we decided to take the long way around to get to Rawlins, WY. It was only supposed to take 2-3 hours but it took us 4. (My car could only go about 50 MPH when going uphill.) But we finally made it to the Hampton Inn in Laramie, WY.
Downtown Laramie is super exciting...not! But this was Dad's favorite hotel that we stayed in.
We saw lots of exciting things while we were traveling...
Trailer parks...
Windmills...
Trains, Cows, Horses, Turkeys...
And lots of rest stops. This one had tiles showing different quilt patterns.
4 days and 2305 miles later we had finally made it. (This is a long exposure of the Washington DC Temple at night).
My cute landlords had cut fresh flowers for my apartment! How nice!
