"I'm Bill S. Preston, Esquire!"
"And I'm Ted 'Theodore' Logan!"
"And we are..." ON A MASSIVE ROAD TRIP!
Hello from Kansas City, Missouri! We made it here safe and sound with no issues. Three states down, a million to go.
As we pulled out of the driveway, Chris commented that we could stop saving face now. My response was, "Yeah, I pretty much hate you." Chris nodded affirmatively. Then, we laughed our heads off! He decided that our first song of the trip would be "Roll Out" by Ludacris. Quite the song choice. Then, his music program decided that we needed to listen to "We Are Young" several times in a row...the first time was great, but subsequent times not so much. We promptly switched to his iPod. Cue the Irish pop music.
Amidst the Irish pop music was Darth Vader. He's the voice on our Garmin and he tells us where to go. He also tells us that "I see that you have control of your feelings...good...this journey will have many trials along the way." No kidding! :) After a while, he got annoying, so we muted him. We're both still alive, so clearly the Force doesn't have much control over us...or Vader's powers have diminished over the past 25 years.
We did have to dodge a chair/desk/some random piece of office furniture that was in the middle of the road on I-70. That was fantastic and rather exciting.
Lunch was spent making sandwiches in our car in a Walmart parking lot somewhere in Illinois. It was pretty much awesome! Granted, I'm sure the people around us were wondering what the heck two people were doing with a ton of food in the car in a Walmart parking lot. On second thought, maybe not. It might not have even phased them.
Dinner was with our great friend Jen, who has graciously let us stay with her tonight. We ended the evening by having dessert (beignets...yum!!) at this cool little place that has live jazz music every night.
Tomorrow we head to Denver, Colorado. It's a nine hour drive, so we'll be up early!
Until then...good night!
