Road trip across America
First, we would like to say a big THANK YOU for everyone's sweet comments about my last post. We are so thankful for everyone's prayers for our little Oliver. He is in God's hands & there is no other place I would want him to be! So thank you again, we love you all & miss you guys!
This post, I wanted to sort of do a throwback of our road trip across the U.S. because I realized I never posted about our journey! Mainly, I just want to show pictures, because sometimes words cannot describe how beautiful every state was! This was the first road trip across the U.S. that Oliver & I have ever been on, whereas this was Matt's third! We really thought every state we traveled across was beautiful in it's own, unique way. It took us 6 days to travel across 12 states! We traveled from Oregon to Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Kentucky, West Virginia & finally Virginia. I didn't want to eat out a lot since we were trying to save money, so I made lots of trail mix, protein bars & we had almond butter with jelly sandwiches! We saved our going out meals for things that we really wanted to eat, like In N Out, Chick Fil A, & lots of BBQ! Oliver did really well in the car & we tried to stop at rest stops so he could run around to get his energy out! Overall, we had a great experience filled with some sketchy motels, yummy food, amazing scenery & fun family moments. Now be prepared for tons of pictures!

(Lots of windmills in this state!)
(I was a tad bit bummed not being able to pass through Des Moines, where part of my family is from...next time)
(We went to Kansas at night for Oklahoma Joe's BBQ, so I wasn't able to get a good picture, so I will settle for this)
(Amazing BBQ!)
