It's late and we drove for about 17 hours to cover the 1030 miles or so from LA to Denver, so I'll leave you with the highlights -
- A surprise send-off by my crazy friends at 7:30 in the morning.
- Getting pulled over by a Utah cop and not getting ticketed for speeding (because we really weren't...)
- Dinner at Chick-Fil-A
- Lots of awesome scenery
- Getting in and out of Vegas while still ahead (I won $36 playing blackjack at the truck stop).
- Buying new windshield wiper blades that actually work!
- Eating at Burger King not once, but twice.
- Scenic overlooks
- Driving the Vegas Strip
I have tons of pics, but am far too tired to do anything about them now. They probably won't be up until after I get to Boston. I'll try to post another update tomorrow assuming we get free internet wherever we stay. The itinerary for the day includes heading north to Mount Rushmore and then making it to Sioux Falls, SD for the night.

Divertissez-vs avec la bonne scénerie! Avec qui est-ce que vs conduisez?
En attendant le futur...

Chik-Fil-A... mmmm... I am so jealous. Also, the cats miss you.

By any chance did you go to Burger King TWICE because of their Star Wars toys? :)

Daniel, you know I love you right? Enough that I didn't show up in the a.m.... I wouldn't put ANYONE I love thru dealing with my grouchy butt that early in the morning. It's just not pretty.

I have to confess that I drove through Burger King today just to get a toy. But sadly I got a spaceship thingy instead of the wookie I was hoping for.

Was Scott just ranting in German? How did you get out of the ticket?

No, that was French.
And we just told the guy that we didn't think there was any way we were going the speed he said we were. He was at least 5 mph over what we (honestly) thought we were doing. So he let us go.
