First we drove from Milwaukee to Iowa City. Isaac interviewed while Sophie and I tried to entertain ourselves. That didn't go very well, so I don't think very highly of Iowa City.
Then we drove from Iowa City to Omaha, Nebraska. The city downtown there is really nice. I had a much more pleasant experience during Isaac's interview, so I think Nebraska is a nice place.
Then we drove from Omaha to my friend, Lucy's, new house. It was so great to see her and the family again. They have a beautiful home and seem very happy there. It was so generous of them to let us crash at their place for a while. It was also great to find out that Lucy is expecting a little baby boy. Hooray!
Then we drove all the way from Lucy's house to Salt Lake. It was a crazy long drive and there were difficult times with Sophie, but for the most part it was okay. Fortunately the weather was great the whole time and we didn't have any travel problems.
When we got to Utah we spent time with Isaac's family and my family. Isaac fly from Salt Lake to Arizona and New Mexico and it was nice having my family around to keep me company while he was gone.
This is a picture of Sophie's crazy hair when she woke up one morning.
Sophie enjoyed spending time with her grandparents and aunts and uncles. (Unfortunately I didn't take very many pictures with my own camera, and I never got copies of the ones with Isaac's family.)
On the way back to Milwaukee we stopped in Denver for another interview. One of the hotels we stayed at didn't have a crib for Sophie, so I tucked her into one of the beds. I was worried she was going to fall out because she can roll, but everything worked out fine.
We spent one more night in Nebraska before the long drive back to Milwaukee. It was great to see family and let them spend more time with Sophie, but I wouldn't recommend driving again. That is way too long of a way to go in the car with a baby.
