Holla from Colorado!!

And what a beautiful day it has been in Kansas and Colorado. Cold, but beautiful!!! We woke up around 6 am, had a lovely continental breakfast, and left around 8 to try and make up some lost time. Boy, oh boy was it COLD here today! Cold, Cold, Cold!!!!!!!

We had to stop several times to get coffee and to warm up including one time at the ghettoist (if that is a word) McCafe that has ever, ever exhisted. I couldn't wait to leave Kansas City! We bought hankerchiefs to keep the wind off our faces, and they worked like a charm!

And, may I just point out this fact about Kansas -- raise your hand if you've thought that Kansas would be one of the most beautiful states ever?? Not many! I KNOW! But, let me tell you -- it is absolutely gorgeous there. Spectacualr!

It took forever to get out of Kansas. We arrived in the state about 50 minutes into the ride, and didn't get out of it until eight or nine hours later!!!! Ricky said that Kansas in Indian, must mean "never get out 'a state" and I must say, I agree! :)

Colorado is beautiful too, and I can't wait for us to see more of it tomorrow.

This morning, we met a couple on their honeymoon in Missouri... they were 87 and 80!!! And cute as a button! Everyone that we've met so far has been really nice. We haven't met someone mean yet.

Oh, and apparently there are big, gigantic, alien windmills in Kansas. I've never seen anything like it in my whole life.

We are two hours behind you guys here. So... it's actually only 10:30, but honey, we are some jet lagged folks! And we didn't even fly!!!!! :)

Our little guy (Harley Cat) is doing better! He has started to come out from under the couch, and actually lay in the floor, eat, and play with his toys. I bet'cha he thinks we gave him up for adoption. I would be maaaaaaad if I was him and I'm sure he will be! :)

We are staying in a hotel that hasn't been updated since 1975 or so. Seriously, the walls and floor are green. And not cute forest green, or pretty polka dot green. Oh no. This is yuck green!!!! And, we actually get into the room with... guess what?! A KEY!!! Go figure! I didn't think anyone used keys anynore. Apparently, that's how they roll in Burlington, Colorado. And, to leave, you actually have to turn the key to lock the door. Ha!

Sleepy time -- FINALLY!!!!!! :)
