A Day in the Life of a Campbell Family Road Trip. Day Two.

11:00AM - Omaha, NE. At the zoo.

4:58PM - A wonderful, but hot, day at the zoo. A BIG hit! We stayed a little longer than we might have intended but there was so much to see!
Abby's favorite - the tigers and the fish. Noah's favorite - the roadrunners (although this changes every time you ask him about it). Benjamin's favorite - the turtles. Now it's time for another detour adventure. 103.

5:08PM - Benjamin is asleep.

6:55PM - Rest stop near Blencoe, IA. We are right in the middle of the flood zone - well, the unclosed part, that is. The highway is lined with 4 ft. sand bags all around us. The water comes right up to them but the rest area is clear. For now. Probably the fastest dinner we have ever had. Gnats! They were everywhere!

8:00PM - SOUTH DAKOTA! Beep! Beep!

9:35PM - 30 miles east of Mitchell, SD. Windshield is too dirty so we are stopping on the side of the road to clean it. LEAVE YOUR CHILDREN IN THE CAR! There are so many mosquitoes, someone could get carried away!!

11:00PM - Lights out.
