Day 20 – Nebraska


This morning, Dave and I got up early and took a nice, long ride around Lincoln, Nebraska.  It was very flat and very nice and relaxing - a great way to start the day!

To properly celebrate the 4th of July, we drove a short distance to Seward, Nebraska - The 4th of July City. No really, – it has actually been declared:  4th of July City.




Where else would one go to celebrate?

There was an extensive car show, which the boys enjoyed.



There was an art show, food, face painting (the girls and I got tattoos painted on our shoulders), entertainment (even belly dancers! – a well-known American 4th of July tradition).




And… What would the 4th of July be without a parade?   There were fire trucks, tractors, motorcycle gangs, candy, politicians, marching bands, and, more tractors. 


The 4th of July City did not disappoint!

Although we could’ve carried on with the festivities (BBQ, etc.) we opted for some quiet time and went to see the Minion Movie.  It was a cool break from the afternoon’s excitement.


As the sun went down, the fireworks, once again, started up. All over town we could see colorful explosions of light.   There was a view in every direction.  It was quite spectacular (the movie just gives a glimpse of the show).



Definitely, a very memorable 4th of July!
