Cross Country Road Trip - First Few Days

Jake has to go to several places across the country for his work, so we decided to make it a "work-cation" and have Tean and me come along with him. So last Friday evening, we went headed out on our trip. That night we made it to Laramie and stayed with Jake's aunt.
The next morning we got up fairly early to drive to Kansas City to stay with Jake's sister, Julie. There was so much snow driving across Nebraska and down into Missouri.
One side of the road had about 4 inches or so of ice and snow on it for a lot of the way, so it took us longer than it should have. But we made it safely to his sister's house in Kansas City, and there wasn't snow there.
On Sunday evening, we decided to go to Liberty Jail.
It had been a while since we had both been there. There was a strong spirit there and I was glad that we got to go. On our way back from Liberty Jail, we saw an awesome house.
It looked like a castle!

We also went to the Visitors Center and looked at the outside of the RLDS Temple. The reason why Jake has a girly scarf on is that his niece forgot a coat, so Jake shared his coat and his sister threw her scarf on Jake. So no, Jake usually doesn't have on girly scarfs.
On Monday we drove to Cincinnati, because Jake had some stuff to do with a dealer there. One a drive we saw this huge cross
and
we drove by where the super bowl was the day before. Too bad we didn't go through a day earlier! Or maybe it is good that we waited until Monday so we didn't have to fight the traffic. Today Tean and I just hung out in the hotel, went swimming, had a nap, got free dinner at the hotel and went swimming again with Jake. Unfortunately we have all gotten sick. Tean and me with a cough, Jake with a sore throat and a little fever. The next couple of days takes us to Lancaster, PA, Philadelphia, PA, and New York. After that who knows!
