Road Trip: Day 3

We pulled into the Pueblo Marriott around 10:30 last night.

We were worn out, tired, and ready for a good night's sleep.  Yesterday's drive was a long one, close to 600 miles. Highly NOT recommended.  

But the kids have been great, even though the DVD player we had borrowed from a friend died all of a sudden. I was pretty bummed, probably more than the kids, just thinking of the long stretches of driving that lay ahead in our 2 week trip. But they seemed to entertain themselves with other things, like reading a book or doing a puzzle or folding an origami animal. We played Mad Libs and 20 questions (we call it the "guessing game") and listened to music and played with Bionicles and snacked on popcorn and slept and just wiled away the time without the videos. We stopped at a roadside picnic area to make our lunch and run around and stretch our legs. It was all good.

Today we reach Halstead, Kansas, home of Wade's parents.
