Day 6

We got up and went to the kitchen, where there was supposed to be a sit-down breakfast, but apparently the cook called in sick. We had to "scavenge" our food out of the kitchen. We drove for hours until we got to Lincoln, Nebraska. After testing me on the capitals of all the states we've been to, Grandma grabbed her camera and we got out to take pictures. Then we decided to go inside. It was really pretty in there, with lots of mosiacs. We saw the Nebraska unicameral legislative branch in session there. The elavator was half the size of a normal one, and Grandma could barely sqeeze through the door!

After seeing the capitol building, we drove in the car for a while. Somewhere on the east end of  Nebraska, we stopped at a seemingly normal street, but it had a parking lot on the side. Oh, and also, there were statues of bison all down the sidewalk. They seemed to be running away. What were they running away from? A wagon train! There were rows and rows of statues of wagons, there passengers being very detailed. It was all so lifelike. There was a captain, a trader, dogs, people riding in wagons, people pushing wagons, walking alongside them, and oxen, mules, and horses pulling wagons. There could have been a real wagon train there. I think the artist must have spent a lot of time (and money) working on that huge project. We drove a while longer, then stayed at a Day's Inn.
