Today was another really long drive from St. Louis, MO to Denver, CO. I cannot begin to tell you how numb my butt is!

They had severe thunderstorms during the night while we totally slept through it in St. Louis. When we got up in the morning it was still raining a little, but by the time we left around 10am it had stopped and looked like it was going to clear up along our drive.

We thought we were going to see Sabrina Gray in Kansas City when we stopped for a quick lunch, but she ended up not working from home that day, so we missed her. Damn those Monday meetings!

Also, don’t laugh, but we didn’t eat BBQ in Kansas City. We were both jonesing for Chick-fil-a, and there was one in KC. So that’s where we stopped for lunch—and it was great! LOL

So not much else happened in MO, then we headed into KS. You hear A LOT of flack about how boring a drive is through KS, so we weren’t really looking forward to it. But at first we were really thinking that Kansas gets a bad wrap.

On I-70 out of MO you go into rolling hills, everything is really green, because its spring, lots to look at and see. We went to OZ and bought some wine. Believe it or not but MO and KS have wineries – who knew. So we decided to stop and bought 7 bottles to start our collection – LOL A Merlot/Zinfandel blend called “Run Toto Run” and a port called “Lion’s Courage” and a couple of others that didn’t have fun names. Then right after that we hit a wind farm. Its freaking incredible how HUGE those windmills are. There were some power lines running beside them and they didn’t even go up a 1/4 of the way of the base. The blades were just massive. This picture just doesn’t give you the perspective, but they were cool.

Then we hit the flat. OMG! Is Kansas wide and flat. I wish we could have turned it around and started with the flat and ended with the rolling hills. I was so happy to hit Colorado, I was counting down the last 5 miles. Unfortunately the first part of Colorado was just as flat as the last of Kansas. Linda, you will be happy to know at this point Robert pulled out Password—he says he needs to talk to you. I’ll leave it at that.

It was dark when we got into Colorado, so I can’t see much of anything. Robert swears there are mountains out there, but I haven’t seen them. The hotel room even says mountain views, so we’ll see in the morning.

We are heading to Salt Lake City, UT tomorrow, and at a slower pace. I’m hoping to get some great pictures of the Rockies, but right now the forecast isn’t looking so great, so cross your fingers for me.
