Cross Country

Where the heart of the city was – eating cheesesteaks, playing basketball, and listening to music – is also where I felt a sense of community.

Numerous patches of seeming brooks and small streams surround you, all heading the same direction, all eventually gathered together to add to the tumultuous site of Niagara.

After 15 hours driving from South Dakota, switching driver seats half-way, we’d finally made it to the windy city … the very windy. I was all-too grateful that we brought our thickest winter jackets.

Nearing Mt. Rushmore, we didn’t even have to get to the park before we could see the monument very clearly. I actually enjoyed seeing it at the various angels along the road, rarely shown in history books.

Day 1 – My husband and I set off with less than two weeks to head east across the northern part of the country and come back westward… Because of time-constraints and extremely last minute planning, my husband/travel companion and I embarked on a trip of a life-time, with less than two days to plan our two-week trip. Are we crazy? Oh yeah. But, did we have fun? Of course!
