Road trip photos, part I

Here are some of my favorite photos from our drive from Michigan to California.... I'll post more as soon as they are available.

Our backyard and the lovely snow, the day before we left. I will not miss this part!!


Samantha, our longsuffering kitty, handled 9 hours a day in a car fairly well.


The Iowa landscape:


Nebraska beef, YUM!


Throughout the drive were signs about closing the freeway and these barriers... it made us grateful for good traveling weather.


The best of Wyoming (yes, really, that was the best part right here!):


Utah salt flats were pretty creepy.


In Nevada were these little settlements and communities tucked among amazing vistas...
