Day 2: Colorado --> Iowa

Day two consisted of travels through Colorado, Nebraska and Iowa.  It was a beautiful drive at the start as we went through the Rockies!  A few hours later we entered Denver and from then on out, it was pretty BLAH!  It was nicer than desert, but not by much.  We did however enter a part of town that had some wonderful sunflowers! :)  I found out that running through fields of flowers is not nearly as wonderful as it seems. I was attacked by grasshoppers and crushed a locust the size of my foot (practically) and heard him crunch...needless to say, after that, I was running OUT of the flowers :( haha!

Mom and I weren't nearly as lively today because we are just starting to get tired.  It took us a hour longer than we hoped for today and we finally stopped at our hotel at 9:55 CST in a somewhat ghetto area (though still better than the first ghetto area my mom tried to take us into!  haha...good thing I didn't listen to her completely ;)



Off to bed and on to Iowa, Illinois and then Indiana, where my temporary home sweet home will be :)  Goodnight!
