Rest Stop Lunch!
We were all fascinated by the windmill farms!
We embarked on our Colorado Adventure on September 1. Mark worked until lunch and then we loaded up and headed out. We drove 100 hours (or maybe it was only 8 hours that seemed like 100) to Kansas City to spend our first night. By the time we got there, Olivia said, "My bottom is dancing to get out of the car!"
We headed out early the next morning for the biggest part of our trip. I taught the kids the alphabet/sign game and the licence plate game, which I consider an important part of their education. Eli pointed out every tractor and piece of construction equipment in Kansas (there are quite a few, by the way). We had decided that it would be frugal to pack a lunch for some of our meals, so we headed to a "fancy" rest stop for lunch. I felt like I was getting back to my roots (minus the potted meat).
We crossed over into Colorado a little before dinner time, and we all gave a cheer and started looking for a place to eat. We passed up the first exit or two because there was not much restaurant selection. We later realized that was a big mistake! There is very little between the border and Denver! We ended up eating at Burger King in Denver a few miles away from my brother's house. We were all thrilled to finally arrive and see Uncle Wes and Aunt Rebecca.
