Sunny Days....Snowy Days

Old Colorado City...


My first time driving in snow...Success! I made it to work without any trouble!

Day 3: Nowhere, KS to Colorado Springs, CO...Whoo hoo!

WE MADE IT!! If I don't have to drive 1,536.3 miles for awhile I will be one happy girl! I am so thankful that my dad came with me. It would have been a long boring trip without him. So we finally made it through Kansas (one of my top places never to move! No offense to you Kansas natives, I'm sure I just missed out on the good parts) The first part of Colorado is really flat. Wasn't expecting that! Its practically flat right up to the mountains. Nothing like the east. I got all settled into my room. I must say that I really lucked out with a place to stay. My bedroom window looks out at Pikes Peak. Pretty awesome if I must say so. Its going to take some getting use to. Not have my friends right down the road will be hard, but I look forward to the new friends I'll make. And don't worry everybody! I am coming back...:)

Day 2: Paducah, KY to Nowhere, KS

Ok, so the town wasn't really named nowhere it just felt like it. With the exception of Kansas City (which I believe most of it is in Missouri) I truly believe that Kansas is not yet inhabited. Maybe some cows and deer, but people? Anyway, we drove through Illinois and Missouri to just shy of mid-Kansas. This was a really long day because the land is so bare. Its like the movie Far and Away. Okay, I know that is Oklahoma, but the land is just as bare and deserted as it was in the movie when the settlers race out to claim it.

Day 1: Augusta, GA to Paducah, KY

So, I'm headed out West to Colorado Springs! My dad and I left Augusta Monday morning and drove until we got tired. We ended up in Paducah, KY. The drive was good so far. Snow covered the ground from North of Chattanooga until now. So pretty. Long day though.
