Road Trip!

Off to Colorado, our home away from home.  Mandy left with the kids this morning, and it sounds like it went pretty well until they got to Hays, KS - the halfway point on our trip - and found the hotel lacking, to say the least.  I followed after getting off work, set back a little by having to go home and get the things we forgot to load up in the morning.

When I started, I was tired after a very long week, but with no kids, satellite radio and my ipod, I perked up just fine.  I got to see a spectacular sunset on an otherwise boring drive across Kansas, when at times I usually feel like this guy.  

Off to the right, the sun was setting.  Off to the left, storms were displaying lightening storms that were a spectacular contrast.  Unfortunately I was armed only with a cell phone camera and a fast-moving car, and the sunset pics don't do it justice, and none of the storm pictures turned out.

I'm sitting here in the hotel breakfast area typing this, trying to wind down from the drive.  Getting kids down in the hotel is quite a feat, and I'm glad I missed it.
