We made it!

18 hours later, one timezone, over 1000 miles, and two tanks of gas we made it to Boulder!! I am currently sitting in our plush TownePlace Suites room which is definitely bigger than Melissa's apartment.

We managed to get up around 4:30, out the door by 5, and on the road by 5:16. Because we are us, we had matching shirts and even looked to be somewhat awake.

We also managed to get all of our stuff into the car. Elise looks like she's in an advertisement for a bulk foods store.

Other than that...pretty much we drove. And drove. And drove. And drove. Oh, and after that? We drove. The following are some pictures of the scenery:

Illinois:

Iowa:

Nebraska:
I was driving through lots of Nebraska so I don't have too many pictures. I bet you can guess what it looked like though.

Colorado:

We did stop in Des Moines. Verdict: Not too exciting. And AAA books are horribly out of date. And we didn't see one giant billboard of Shawn Johnson.

So today...not so exciting. We did manage to get here though and now it's time to sleep so we can have some fun tomorrow....Rocky Mountain National Park, Celestial Seasonings Factory Tour, and I can confirm my love for Boulder!

Night!
