In Full Effect
Winter is definitely here for a while. Cold, Snow, Cold, Snow, Cold, Snow. You all know how much I enjoy the gloom. Hibernation is very appealing.You all know how much I enjoy the nap. It's a good thing I have a Florida trip in the near future to warm myself. The extent of Winter weather so far has included record-breaking temperatures, just yesterday, South Bend bottomed out at -15, easily besting the previous record low of -11 set in 1928. The last time it was this cold in South Bend was December 19, 2016, when it was -14. That was also a new record low. The city hasn't recorded a temperature above 32 degrees since December 22nd. Through January 1, South Bend has seen 33.5 inches of snow. The city saw 42.4 inches for the entire 2016-17 winter season. There is a Winter weather advisory for the next 48 hours, expected snow amounts are between 4 and 10 inches. It is snowing as I write this. Yay Winter!

Road Tripping Pt XIV
Once we checked out of the hotel, Shane and I drove over to the Capitol Building in Jefferson City, Missouri. We wandered around both outside and inside, snapping pictures. From there we drove to Springfield, Illinois to check out the Capitol there. After spending time browsing around, we decided that the call of home was too great to ignore and our final destination of this epic journey became home. 14 days, 13 states, 5016 miles, 41 magnets, 3517 photos. Great vacation.

Road Tripping Pt XII
The Price Tower is a nineteen-story, 221-foot-high tower in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. It was built in 1956 to a design by Frank Lloyd Wright. It is the only realized skyscraper by Wright. It was commissioned by Harold Price, for use as corporate headquarters for his oil and chemical company. In 2000 the building was donated to Price Tower Arts Center, and it has multi-use tenants. Price Tower Arts Center, a museum of art, architecture, and design; Inn at Price Tower; Copper Restaurant + Bar, and the Wright Place museum store. This is our next destination along the road. We headed out from Amarillo following Old Route 66, stopping in towns like Shamrock, Texas; Elk City, Oklahoma; Clinton, Oklahoma; and Bridgeport, Oklahoma. Once we arrived in Bartlesville, we checked into the hotel, then headed out to grab a bite to eat and explore the town.

Road Tripping Pt XI
Destination: Amarillo, Texas. 286 miles, four hour drive time. We made other stops along the way. Headed out of Albuquerque on Historic Route 66, paralleling the Interstate. We drove the section of singing highway, where the rumble strips play the song "America The Beautiful". We stopped in Tucumcari, New Mexico for lunch and souvenirs. We drove through the ghost towns of Endee, New Mexico and Glenrio, New Mexico & Texas. We took pictures in Adrian, Texas, the midpoint of Route 66, which begins in Chicago, Illinois and ends in Santa Monica, California. Once we arrived in Amarillo, we stopped at Cadillac Ranch, an art installation along the highway. From there we went to our hotel, checked in, then headed into town to explore.
