Between Chattanooga and Nashville I saw two dead things on the side of the road. One was either a a monkey or baby bigfoot and the other was possibly a mountain lion. More than likely they were a dog and deer.....but I still like my guesses, haha




Downtown Nashville...

Not much happened in Illinois. I did see the best lisense plate of the trip. "Dubya 1"...haha, why would you put that as your liscense plate?



St. Louis was pretty cool...

We finally reach Colorado! We [read as mom] couldn't get a picture of the state signs..... and we finally got one when we reached Colorado. So we had to make it special

We finally decided to stop for a few hours of sleep outside of Denver at a truck stop after driving for about 20 hours (Alpharetta > Denver only stopping for gas a few times)




The Great Denver Cheeto Explosion of 2009!

The bag of Cheetos couldn't handle the increase of elevation heading out of Denver. It got really full of air. I wanted to see if it could pop by itself, so I put it back behind my seat to see if it could happen. I forgot about it and about 20 minutes later it popped by itself and startled me pretty good.
