Leave it to me to start packing less than 12 hours before I'm leaving. I didn't think I had as much stuff as I really did. Two duffle bags full of close, a vera bradley weekend bag... actually two vera bradley weekend bags but one just had my clothes in it for the hotel. A box with just my boots, a box with my ranch things, couple pillows, a box with just the little things...toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo & conditioner...those things. I had a laundry basket, hangers, and what not all in the bed of the truck. Now up front in the cab behind my seats I had the more important things like.. my two cowboy hats, my saddle, my rope, our bag of food, and our computers. My saddle was the first thing I packed and I made sure it went up front.
Soo we jumped in the car at 10:45am and headed down the road for Colorado. We stopped right outside of Indianapolis for lunch at Mcdonalds, checked our email, made a few CDs, and then we were on the road again. We didn't make very many stops if we didnt have too unless to use the bathroom and we made it to Des Moines, Iowa at 7:20pm Saturday night. We checked into our hotel room and was dying of hunger since we hadnt eaten anything since lunch. We stopped at the Panda Buffet for dinner ... now thats a story by itself. I had my little plate of honey chicken, noodles, and ride. Keaton has one plate full of just chicken and another plate with noodles, an oyster shell with cheese and a crawl fish. The crawl fish was the whole body alone.. I didn't know how you ate it and he sure as hell didn't know so he saved it for last. We tried calling Colae to see if she knew cause shes from Florida and eats those things. Well she didn't answer at first so Keaton ate everything that looked like meat. Even the part under the tail that WASNT suppose to be eaten. We finished up dinner and headed back to the hotel. Shortly after we returned to the hotel Colae called back. I asked her how you eat a crawl fish and to our knowledge you crack it open and eat what is in the shell. The part under the tail is the poo... fried poo as Colae said. It was around 930 and we were just watching tv and I fell asleep.
We started Sunday morning a little earlier than Saturday so we could get to Denver earlier. We got up at 830 showered, eat a hot buffet breakfast, and got back on the road. We stopped for lunch in Lincoln, Nebraska at Mcdonalds again to check email and got back on the road. We drove straight through from Lincoln to Denver just taking a few bathroom breaks on the way. We ended up in Sterling, Colorado around 430 checked out the town and found my dorm room and got back on the road. Keatons family was waiting for us to eat dinner at his house and we got into town around 630. It felt great to finally make it to Denver and be done driving for the night. We both were soo exhausted again we ended up going to bed around 930 again.
Today we got and had breakfast with his family again and headed out to the Stock Show for the day. We ended up going to Shelpers western store and then go a barn to pick up Keatons saddle. Im now sitting at his house again finishing this up relaxing. I head back to Sterling in the morning to move into the dorm and schedule my classes for school. Its still unbelievable that I am officially in Colorado.
