The Holiday Inn Coco Key sports complex was such a nice hotel, we really hated to leave...but leave we did and got as far as across the street to Denny's, where we had a great breakfast. Our waitress was wonderful and attentive. Her name was Mazey and she was a 20 something with red hair and freckles.
Getting on the road, we made good time getting out of Kansas City, MO and scooted into Kansas.
It had beautiful rolling hills at first, but quickly flattened out. The trees thinned out and got much shorter. It does have a charm of it's own though. There was a breeze blowing and the wheat fields and corn fields were waving like green and gold oceans.
The kids were tickled to get to see a coyote running across the highway and into the fields....
We got a kick out of all the cowboy stuff on the billboards, as well as the advertisements for OZ and for seeing Dorothy's house.
We were hoping to get into Colorado and stay on the east side of Denver, but the kids and are were bushed and just wanted a dip in a pool and order dinner.
So we are here in Goodland Kansas, in the Days Inn. It's a little run down, but has a great indoor pool that was heated and a sauna and jacuzzi.... Mary,,,where's my margarita??
We ordered Chinese and took turns jumping in the tub and shower....Jacob's in there now,,,I can hear him singing to the Hanna Montana that the girls are watching.... Maddy's laying down trying to get the water to drain out of her ear...I think she is developing swimmer's ear....
Tomorrow, it is onto Steamboat Springs, where we will visit with my niece Alicia and my big brother, Robbie....I can't wait for one of his bear hugs, and hopefully a cookout with his infamous rib spreading ribs....
Night All.....
