Dave's graduation was also last week. It was in Alamosa, Colorado. Pretty much as far South in Colorado as you can go. Needless to say, it was a looooooong drive. We left Thursday at 1:00 pm and got back Sunday at 9:00 pm, so we were only gone for 3 days and 8 hours. During that 3 days and 8 hours, we spent about 33 hours in the car and drove over 2000 miles!!!! Our kids did incredible! I still can't even quite figure out how they did so well - that was a long time for even me!!
On the drive, we saw quite a lot! Going we drove through Cheyenne, WY and down through Colorado. Coming home, we drove across Colorado and up through Utah. So, quite a lot!
Most of the drive, we saw this:
We drove through lots of small towns:
And a few big ones:
We got to see where the Denver Bronco's play:
We drove through mountains:
And more tunnels than I could even count!
Thankfully, we didn't run into very much of this:
But we did see some of this:
Not surprisingly, this was a common occurance:
And this was a little less common:
Bria helped out by keeping a "log" of the cities we still needed to drive through:
Max and I had tons of fun sitting in the back seat:
Logan learned how to play Peek-A-Boo!
And Dave was amazing and drove the entire way!!
We had a ton of fun, but I have to admit, we were very happy when we saw this:
O' the joys of a long road trip. Not always fun but I soo hope we get to take ours!
