In Denver (not in Kansas anymore)

So we spent about 10 hours on the road today going through Kansas and some of Colorado on our way to Denver. Kansas is so flat that you can see for miles and miles off of the highway. We drove along this road amongst an ocean of green going as far as the eye could see. Kansas is pretty bare of large attractions and industrialized areas, but it was really cool in a different sort of way.

Speaking of cool, about 40 miles or so out of Denver we began to be able to see the mountains in the distance through the misty clouds and the sun directly above. Cat exclaimed, "are those the mountains there?!" It was so beautiful that it was hard to believe. The mountains towered over the city of Denver and served as a picturesque background to it. They stretched in length for what seemed like forever, and contain a beauty that I have been unexposed to before.

We are waking up early in the morning tomorrow (6:15am) to get on the road and explore the rest of this amazing state! I will hopefully be able to write on that soon. Talk to ya then!
