4th day = eventful

Yesterday started off so well! We slept in a little and enjoyed breakfast at the hotel. They had the coolest instant pancake machine.


You just press a button and 2 pancakes come out a minute later.


Then we got on the road....

As we drove through Wyoming, Utah, and Idaho we experienced all sorts of crazy weather.



We hit snow, 35+ mph winds, black ice, and dust storms.


We saw warning signs for about 20 miles leading up to the actual dust storm. Once it hit, we couldn't even see the cars right in front us. Luckily, it only lasted a mile.

With all the crazy weather excitement, we were so happy to arrive at Cracker Barrel for dinner!



I had my eye on this place since Nebraska!





I'm not going to be able to eat at a Cracker Barrel again for a while so I ordered one of everything on the menu! I was starving!

We entered Oregon soon after dinner. Then the excitement REALLY began! We're still recovering! Stay tuned...

    Hi Polly! Thanks for putting me on the "list" for your blog so I, too, can keep up with your adventures :) I'm already feeling nostalgic for my cross-country trip(s)! Best life decision I ever made! Have fun!!
