1. I drove through Chicago. "Let's go inhale some nice toxic fumes!"
2. I stayed at the Wisconsen Dells for a little while. That place is like theme park land! Carnival rides and waterparks are everywhere!... Nobody really comes out at day, everyone wonders around and goes to there great novilty stores at night!
3. I drove through Minnesota. I saw the Mississippi river. Lots of corn.
4. I drove through many miles of South Dakota... Flat, flat, South Dakota. But, once I got to the end of it, I realized it was a very mountanous region. I went to the Badlands... Very Awesome. I also saw Mount Rushmore.
5. I went through Wyoming... All the way to Yellowstone National park! Yellowstone is a very beautiful place... with great natural sights. It's also teaming with abudant wildlife... I'll show some abudant wildlife in a little bit...
5 1/2. I went to Montana and Idaho... while staying in Yellow Stone. Idaho looks a lot like Napoleon Dynamite's homeland... So I have no doubt that they didn't film it in California.
6. I went down a little ways, to the Tetons. Very beautiful place, but I didn't get to see much... Because our car broke... (kind of), and we had to fix it. Our car broke... Haha.
7. We stayed there a little while, and then we drove home through a few different states. They were: Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa... and of course, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. Many things to see in all of those states.
In total, I went through 13 states... Indiana, Illinois, Wesconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, and Michigan.
It feels very good to get back. While I was gone, I took over 1,000 pictures. I will only share some of my highlights with you (I will do a few more "parts", with pictures).
I actually thought I would be home sooner, but we had to stop for a little while in Indiana. GOD actually told me that we were going to have to stop for a little bit during my trip, I just didn't realize it. I asked my Dad when we would be home (on one of the last days of our trip). I remebered his answer... and I believed it. I then kept heaing James 4:13-15 in different places... I didn't realize this was what GOD was saying to me:
Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
James 4:13-15
A little be later, our car's radiator broke, and we had to stop for a little while... Yes, I could have been home much sooner. My message is: If you have faith, GOD will speak to you. Maybe not in words, but in acts, HE will make HIMSELF known. (HE sometimes speaks to you, too).
In the next few posts, I will try to post pictures... GOD bless you all! Peace be with you!
