No, not a rock trip.
Just got back from a little vacation...visiting in-laws...and I thought I'd share a few pics.
I always like getting away, even if it's kind of a scary time to do so.
Went East and saw lots of corn and wind turbines- way different from the area I live in. There's also a picture of a cool covered bridge and one with myself, my daughter and my youngest son.
Thanks for looking.

Enjoy seeing you with the kids. You got a great rainbow shot, but that bridge is soooo cool and the storm looks like Hollywood FX.

Yeah, the bridge was super cool- it was in Indiana.
The storm was actually on my home turf, about 25 minutes from home on the way back. Thankfully, it was only rain!

Welcome back and great pictures! Love the bridge and the double rainbow. That storm picture looks like you took it right out of the movie Twister.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

We have 21 wind turbines about 15 miles from here. You can see them for about 75-100 miles. Ugh.

Glad you were able to get away for awhile. Thanks for sharing the pics. Those turbines are beyond massive, and as it has already been stated, that bridge looks amazing!

There are. We were right in the middle of Amish country, too, which was interesting...
