Packed and Ready to Roll - Denver or Bust, Part 2

Day 2 - Mt Vernon, IL to Colby, KS

We hit St-Louis by 8:30 AM and there NO traffic. We drove past our second NFL stadium there (Nashville was #1). We stopped just outside of St-Louis to gas and go and made it to Kansas City (third NFL stadium and second MLB) before we hit a McD's on the west / KS side for lunch. We arrived in Colby KS by 7:00 or so and tucked into the Holiday Inn Express for the night. The pool was just what we needed, even if Theodore took a bigger dip than he expected.

Here are two pictures from Day 2

Saw this in Missouri

Who knew Kansas was so windy?

Packed and Ready to Roll - Denver or Bust, Part 1

Sorry ... no pictures of the car packed. I know - what was I thinking. Marc and I left the house around 12:30 PM to pick-up the boys by 1:00 PM. I insisted we do the car line ... Frederic LOVES car line. So I followed a screaming Theodore in the stroller to the car line hall while Marc pulled the car around. We loaded the boys in and headed to Food Lion to fill the cooler. We were on the road at 1:30 PM and made it to Mt Vernon, IL by 9:30 or so. We stayed at the same Days Inn we did when we drove to VA ... the front desk gal was so amazing ... she did some laundry for us after Fred had a blow-out in his car seat. I will ALWAYS stay at a Days Inn on the road if it is an option because of how awesome she was.
