Pioneers

One of our highlights was stopping at Winter Quarters in Omaha, NE. We got to dress up like pioneers, take a tour, and see the temple.

Our 2-day drive in a rental car (with AC) was really put into perspective when compared to the hardships the pioneers had and the sacrifices they made on the same route! It was good timing to have that experience just before returning home to celebrate Pioneer Day.

We were surprised to step out of the car and have our glasses fog up. It was so hot and humid (129 degrees with the heat index) that the local newspaper headline read, "A Day When A Sauna Seems Inviting."
