Before going back to Grandma and Grandpa's, we made a few stops throughout Nebraska. First, we drove around and stopped at Lake McConaughy. Then, we drove to Grand Island and visited the Golden Spike Tower. Golden Spike Tower is an 8 story tower that shows Union Pacific's Bailey Yard. It's the word's largest train yard.

More history on the trip. Never knew that there were such as thing as Orphan Trains. They would send kids on trains and they were dispersed throughout the United States to orphanages that had room.
