Our trip across the US to South Carolina





I was not looking forward to driving for 6 days, but this trip turned out not too bad. We started our journey driving 6 hours to Cheyenne, Wy were we stayed at The Little America. It was a nice little break, and a fun hotel. Early the next morning we were on our wau to Council Bluffs, Iowa to visit Josh's brother and his wife. We stayed 2 nights there (another break for Olivia), and while we were there we visited the most amazing zoo. I highly recommend visiting the Omaha Zoo. I can see why it is rated one of the best zoo's. The next drive was the LONGEST of all, 12 hours to Columbus, OH. Josh and I were going a bit crazy, meanwhile Olivia was just happy to eat snacks and watch Signing Time over and over and over. About 30 minutes from our destination Josh was feeling very nauseous. Not fun for him, we ended pullling over for a few minutes. Thankfully we were close to our ending point, so I drove quickly to my best friend Brooklynn's home. It was so nice to see her and her family. I just love her kiddos, they are so precious. We went to another amazing zoo, and ate lots of yummy food. I was so sad to leave after 2 nights, but Josh needed to get to work shortly. We had one more stop, Josh's friend from pilot training in Knoxsville, TN. That night Olivia started really walking, of course we had to grab the video camera. It was fun sharing this moment with friends. And finally........... a quick 4 hour drive and we were here. It is a lot different from Utah, but very beautiful. We are still trying to settle in, but here are a few pics along the way.
