Well, the first day was a successful long driving day! We drove about 12 hours. Nebraska is a boring, boring state. Although Nanny couldn't go with us, she sent a little money and we had ice cream on her today. Thanks, Nanny! We went to church in Wheatland, Wyoming and then had called ahead to a campsite in Casper, WY. This was supposed to get us in at about 7:30 p.m.(now mountain time). As we drove though, we say a sign for the Oregon Trail Ruts Historic Site. This is the place where so many pioneers crossed over the same path that it dug ruts in the sandstone. The last picture is the kids and Tom standing in the path with the undisturbed sandstone on either side. It was really impressive. This took us out of our way about an hour, which would have been ok, had we not driven so far already. We got to our campsite about 9:15 and quickly set up and went straight to bed. We are on VACATION!! WOOHOO!
