| Yes, I ate all of this. |
My mother and Aunt KiMiko came to visit us. They arrived at Yosemite Airport on May 9.
We went to Bass Lake to have a Forks Burger, we went to Yosemite National Park and had a good soaking from Bridalveil Falls and witnessed spectacular waterfalls.
My aunt celebrated her first Mother's Day in the United States. My mother celebrated her first in 10 years. It was a great feeling to have my mother, my aunt, my wife, and my MIL celebrate together for the first time. My aunt even played pool for the very first time.
On May 15, we headed east.
The I-80 to and the I-70 back.
Through California, Nevada, Utah, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, and Arizona.
We went through South Lake Tahoe and stopped there to make our lunches. As we ate, it started to snow lightly.
Then it was on to Salt Lake City, Utah, where we spent the night.
The next morning we drove through Wyoming and spent the night at North Platte, Nebraska. Prior to arriving we drove into a hailstorm and heavy rain.
Then, it was off to Platte City, Missouri, to visit my wife's cousin, ShaRon, and her husband Tim. All of us drove to Joe's Kansas City BBQ. I ordered a full rack of pork ribs and it was delicious.
Then, we headed out to Jacksonville Veterans Cemetery to visit my father's grave. We then drove to Lentner to visit my Uncle J and Aunt Pearl's gravesite at the Mt. Hope cemetery.
We stopped in Shelbyville to visit a couple of people before heading west on Highway 36 to Topeka, Kansas. While arriving in Topeka we drove through yet another storm.
Then, it was off to Denver, Colorado, for the night.
As we head out the next day, we encountered more snowy weather while traveling through the Rockies. It was quite a sight to see especially in May.
We crossed over into Utah and spent the night at St. George.
Then it was off to end our trip to our home.
