JENNY! Hang in there, kansas is the only bad part of your drive! Call me from the road! I'll call when I leave class today
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty, pretty jealous that you two get to do this kind of trip and that you both left little brother behind.
ReplyDeleteFor shame!
:( :( :(
Hahaha nahh it's cool. I wouldn't have been able to go anyway. And I'm sure you didn't have any room in the car for me.
Sounds like you're both having fun! Happy travels dear sisters.
We had the same Garmin Nuvi on our trip too! We also went from MO to CO in a day, though to different cities.
ReplyDeleteJosh, thanks for your call - Jenny totally appreciated it! / Mark, we so would have made room in the car. You would have kept us laughing from coast to coast. / Joe, I'm in love with our Garmin Nuvi, also known as Suzy. We are lucky drivers, indeed!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your posts!
