Detours due to flooding...

Keegan and Fey sleeping thru the crazy storm from last night.



Well this morning started off pretty early for our 3rd day of the trip. We had a smorgasbord of tasty treats for breakfast compliments of Holiday Inn. We topped up the fuel tank and were on our way by 10 am. A slight detour into Nebraska and then back into Iowa got us back on track.








Only to find out that our route of I 29 to Omaha was kinda under water.



















I wasn't fast enough to get the picture of where I 29 completely disappears under water as I was to busy dealing with a sligty annoyed husband concerned we were going to be completely re-routed through Des Moines. Needless to say a slight detour and we were back on track and on 75 on the other side of a very swollen Missouri River.

We e eventually crossed into Kansas ( please picture a road sign here, it was so small and happened so fast, that it didn't happen at all.

Welcome to Kansas

A cool town along 75



We arrived in Topeka around 4:30 and have just been relaxing.



The final leg of our journey starts tomorrow. Where once we arrive in Oklahoma, we will the get to sit and wait for our moving truck to arrive...sigh.



At least we will have time to explore and enjoy the hotel pool.

On another note...

North Dakota, South Dakota, & Iowa

Just because it was so cute. Keegan and Casey sharing a bed.



Well 3 States in one day...what a blast.

Getting ready to leave Fargo this morning.




So only a slight hiccup this morning, in that I forgot my medication in the hotel. Good thing we had only gone one exit down the thruway.

Ryan was very excited to fill up the van with ethanol gas today, so much cheaper!



South Dakota



Finally Iowa...



...they seem to be having some water issues.











Just because we have a dog named Casey.



Just what Iowa doesn't need is more water.



Tomorrow we head for Topeka KS.

Halfway there...phew!

Good Bye Portage, Hello North Dakota

Well Day 1 is coming to a close of our North American move. The van was loaded and the trailer hooked up...we say our final goodbyes.



A couple of hours later we arrive at the Border, expecting the worst and was pleasantly surprised at the relative ease at which we were granted access...within an hour we were on our way.



Hello North Dakota.



We had to pull off once before Grand Forks as Cayden decided that he needed to soil his diaper. After which it was uneventful until the last few clicks into Grand Forks as we were almost out of gas and the GPS took us to a gas station that no longer existed.

Needless to say we did find one out of a time warp and then it was on to Fargo and our first stop.



Next stop Sioux City, IA.
