Nebraska..a bit out of order


July 13-14…Nebraska is flat farmland!! We still encountered some grumpy weather in Nebraska, so it was very cloudy and gloomy. Mommy is really needing some sunshine! We got to our hotel in the late afternoon and did our routine…daddy checks in, push out the luggage cart, load it up, fight over who gets to push the luggage cart, listen to Allie yell.”I am the leader,” and then get to our room (which are all looking strikingly the same). We decided to put laundry in since of all the rain got our poor clothes in the roof rack very wet. We then left for dinner and the rain started again. It always seems to start pouring the in evenings. After dinner mommy got a special treat and got to go into TJ Maxx for a bit. Even though we don’t have much extra space to buy anything, it was still fun to look. That evening we had a wonderful time swimming together in the pool. It was one of the first times where I felt like there wasn’t stuff that had to be done or a meal to get ready. We just enjoyed playing together. After we got to our room from our swim we learned that there was a tornado warning. This California girl isn’t crazy about this type of weather. I quietly packed a backpack in case we had to head to the first floor for safety. The kids were a bit nervous so we tried our best to calm nerves. We were safe and there was a bad storm that past just north of us and then south of us. Once we all fell asleep it was our best night sleep yet!! In the morning we prepared for our longest day in the car…our goal…North Dakota!
