Still Heading WEST!!!
After a wonderful visit with my college roommate(best friend) and her wonderful family, Cade and I were on the road again trying to make it from Pittsburgh to Iowa. I must say road trips have become second nature for us! Cade is a fantastic travel buddy. I real trooper for sure. He makes sure to gas me up at every gas stop, changes the discs on our books on tape, gets snacks available, great conversationalist and the most adaptable and PATIENT kid you will ever meet! This leg of the trip will go down in history as the WORST! Nothing but road construction and TRAFFIC!!!!! Finally by midnight( still traffic), we decided to call it a night and pulled off in Effingham, IL at the Red Roof Inn. So much for making it to Iowa. Oh well, a good nights sleep will do us good. We are about 16 hours from Colorado, so looks like we will have 2 more days until a little R&R in our ole 'hood....Colorado!
