On our second longest day of the trip, we made the journey from Iowa to Colorado through Nebraska. It took us approximately 11 hours, and by the time we arrived in Aurora, we were ready for a rest. We were greeted at our destination with a double rainbow, which was a wonderful end to a long day of driving through cornfields and flatness! Chris took lots of pictures:
