Stormy night. First rainy weather so far this trip. Going to snoop around the 'Stagecoach', which is suppose to be Nebraska's most exciting gift store. May find something good. Cold in Kearney. Wind blowing and cloudy. Was a nice gift shop. Girls bought some things. Next stop - Gothenberg, NE, to see original station for the Pony Express. Was interesting and got some nice pictures.
Oh, what fun, we went by feedlot. Debbie was looking at magazine and didn't realize we had. She thought Delma had done something bad. I asked if they wanted me to roll down the window. I received a loud "NO" from the front seat.
Nice rest stop just as we entered Colorado. Has gotten a little warm outside. Changing drivers; lots of tourists here. Subway across road, so you know what is for lunch. Saw first wreck on other side of road. Looked like a camping trailer. Didn't see any ambulance; hopefully no one hurt.
Arriving motel Colorado Springs, CO. 4:30pm mountain time. Glad to be here. GOOD NIGHT!!
Debbie's comments:
As Aunt Carole said, this was a travel day so there really isn't much to blog about. The landscape has definitely changed through each of the states. Going through Nebraska and then into Colorado Springs was just a LONG stretch of road with little variation.....that is until you get closer to Denver/Colorado Springs and started seeing mountains.
Our main excitement today was seeing Kyce. Here are some happy reunion pictures:
It took Delma, Kyce and Grandma to order the pizza and Kyce's hotwings. I only wish I had a picture of Kyce eating them. They were so hot he got the hiccups, had to stand up to eat while wiggling around, and almost broke into a sweat. We were all laughing at him; Grandma couldn't figure out why someone would put themselves through that!!
Grandma got Kyce a "John Wayne" t-shirt. John Wayne is "the man"; Kyce really appreciated the shirt. It had one of Kyce's favorite sayings on it...."A man's got to do what a man's got to do!"
That's it for the evening. We are just visiting with Kyce. No plans at the moment for the rest of the weekend; we will make it up as we go along. Can't wait!!
