Memorial Day Weekend Trip

Last year, Mike and I passed these wind turbines along Interstate 155. I later wished I had taken pictures of them. So on Friday, we took off on the motorcycle and headed up to Ashley and Jason's. I took the below pictures from the interstate roadside. However, later we got up really close to some as we drove through the countryside. They are so massive, yet as they turn they are very quite and have a peaceful calming effect on you. Maybe it's just due to the fact that they are located in a rural area where there is minimal noise.
After leaving Ashley and Jason's Saturday afternoon, we road west and found ourselves crossing this beautiful bridge and spending the night in Burlington, Iowa.

Due to incoming rain and thurderstorms, we left Iowa early Sunday and headed home, cutting our travel short. It was still a fun trip with lots of sunshine.

Nope, we were actually driving on the road and I snapped the picture. I have another one that is really good too, but it didn't show the top of the bridge.
