Slideshow of the road trip so far...

Here's a few pictures of the road trip so far. We're having a good time. There's been a few "minor" glitches with the RV. Last night we were caught in a windstorm on the interstate. The awning blew partially off. We tried to secure it back down, but it came off again. One of the brackets was sucked right off the side of the RV, so I went on top with the rope to secure it to something else just temporarily. David was out there helping as well. There's nothing like being on the top of an RV in the middle of a storm praying you don't get blown off! Ron made it up to help tie it off, but he had been struck by something in the head as we were trying to secure it earlier. Thankfully he's ok.

Fuel has been up and down. The cost is going down to under $4 a gallon, so that's good. Our fuel economy though is only 12.5 a gallon though on a good day. Definitely better then our old gas RV that we could never afford to drive anywhere, but still somewhat disappointing. Probably these high winds are having a big impact.

We're stopping at a waterpark today in Nebraska. Originally it was scheduled for yesterday, but plans changed. Everyone is praying the waterpark stays open and there is no storm. We've stopped here before many years ago and the kids had a good time. Apparently the park gets shut down if there are weather issues. Right now it is scheduled to be 80 degrees. Yay! This is good news because we are acclimated to Haiti now. We are FREEZING here in the USA.
