Almost 1000km....

First day with the whole family on the road. We are going to try a format that has everyone's input...

Brent: Decided to head out a little earlier than planned and hit the road at 1:15pm. Just arrived shy of the Iowa border at local time 10:00pm. Made it 980km with only one stop (not counting the 45 minute border wait!). Only wildlife we saw was a stiff deer on the side of the highway and the population of squashed insects on our windshield...

Dustin: We finally left to go to Las Vegas. When we were crossing the border it was a really long line up. We stopped on the bridge right on the border. We saw fireworks when we were heading to the hotel.

Linda: Not much news today. We realized it was July the 4th and there was much celebration going on in the U.S. when a canon went off for some civil re-enactment right as we were driving by!! Long day, time for bed.

Dylan: [Dylan is not typing tonight....] "I'm trying to sleep here...."
