Things we learned along the way...
- While revitalizing the country, road construction is still a big pain in the butt, no matter what state you're in.
- Runzas, though a Nebraska staple, are disgusting.
- Markers do not make for good coloring tools on a road trip unless you're trying to decorate the inside of your car.
- When you drive up to a dodgy restaurant and you think, "it could be okay, let's try it" - it is probably NOT okay.
- Even at 75 mph, it still takes forever to drive across Nebraska.
- There are a lot of "slug/punchbugs" in Colorado. 4-year-olds will notice all of them.
- There is no need to plan to spend more than 20 minutes at Wall Drug.
- Small, simple, free and local sights are just as special as BIG, expensive and far away "attractions."
- Sometimes the maid will steal one of your bagels.
- Don't forget about timezone changes when planning how long a drive will take.
- No matter how many times you say it, POUDRE (pronounced Poo-der) is FUNNY!
- Beef: It's what's for dinner...in South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska and Iowa.
- You can make every great photo op better by placing a smiling 4 year old in it.
- Just when you think you've driven a long way, you see a car from a state that is thousands of miles further away from home than you.
- There is no sense in turning the radio on in South Dakota, Wyoming Nebraska, or Iowa. That is, unless you like country or Christian stations.
- 4-year-olds CAN endure 10 hour drives.
- Parents CAN endure 10 hour drives with 4-year-olds.
