We go by peach trees.
Rogers using our sink. Likes our room better since it has a bathroom and a sink.

Roller Dam- As water flows over the top it hits a baffle which brings the water back onto the water coming and creates a roller affect.  This saves  on the erosion down the bank.
Traveling down the river.  Nahnie opened her mouth about the mooners in the rafts on the river as we traveled by.  I then got to explain it to my 11 year old grandson. Way to go Nahnie.......
I then had to show him what I meant!  The conductor came on the announcement and said we had offically been mooned 26 times today.
Not quite like our mountains but close...
Coming into Denver
We passed through Nebraska, Iowa, crossed the Mississippi again and back to Chicago.  We did eleven states in all once we landed in Chicago but we started in MA, then to NH to VT and back to the plane in NH.= 14 states on this trip!


So we have come to an end of our trip.  I hope you have enjoyed the information and the pictures.
We had a great time and I know the kids had fun.
See you on the next trip.
