Day Eight
I forgot to mention the change in weather over the last few days. It's been beautiful the entire trip up until now. Omaha tied record highs, with an 86 degree day when we went biking. It turned cold the next day, and is now snowing. It's the most amazing and dramatic switch in weather I've seen. From hot weather that had us in shorts to sleet and hail to snow, in the span of two days.
The snow let up for the wedding on day eight. I had a minor scare when the cleaners didn't have my suit when they said they did. But it turned out it just needed to be pressed, which they did while I ate lunch.
The wedding was nice. It gave me a good chance to get used to the new camera, which will come in handy for Beau's wedding a week after we get back.
Day Nine
The day after the wedding was mostly packing up and traveling. Snow increased, and we had to drive through some nastiness to get to Val's grandmother's place in Falls City. We visited with her for a few hours and then headed back towards Omaha and visited with a friend of hers who recently had a baby.
We made it back to Val's parents with the plan to leave for Colorado the next day (Monday). Little did we know that we were about to get snowed in...
