Chicago Roadtrip

Who said Nebraska is boring? It’s so funny what just happened. Those things only happen on a roadtrip. :-)
Ok after Starbucks back on the Interstate. As I said it’s really windy here. Around 35mph winds and they come from the south so it makes the car move quite a bit. The car gets hit from the wind on the side. Anyway everyone is starving (only had ice tea at Starbucks) and see sign for McDonalds (no other option guys). Get off the Interstate. It said it’s 3 miles north in the town of Aurora. Earlier we were reading some fun facts about NE on some website and it said the strobelight was invented in that town. I don’t know if it’s true. Ok, travel north and it was so nice and quiet and peaceful. No longer that hurricane from the side. Didn’t take long and it said construction. Didn’t I just mention construction in Grand Island? This time there was even a flagman. Only one side of the road was open (one lane in each direction). So we had to wait even more. Then it got even more fun as they had a detour and that sent us in the wrong direction basically back home. But we got a tour of the strobelight town. :-) Very small tiny streets. Then finally hit a main road again and going into the right direction (east). In the distance you could finally see the Golden Arches. Had lunch or late lunch. We couldn’t go back the same way. So we took a road to the next town which was about 4 miles north of the Interstate. Wow what a road. You got to see Nebraska. All that farmland. Fun Fun! People were waving in their cars. That tells you how small it is. Made it into the next town called Hampton. 432 people live there. Then there was a road which went south back to the Interstate. What an adventure this was. Absolutely fantastic. I got to see even more of Nebraska. :-)
