Ok, I am soooooooooo tired tonight. We were going to try and just make it home tonight, but after another 15 hours in the car, we just ran out of energy/desire/will-to-live and had to stop. It is after midnight, technically Saturday, but I wanted to get this posted since I know all of you are just dying to watch more videos of Dad and me in the car.
We started in St. Louis this morning at about 7:45am...we were not feeling to well (we really overate for dinner). We drove through the rest of Missouri, Kansas (the most boring place on earth), and 99% of Colorado. We stopped 3.5 hours from home, but we just couldn't do it...we had planned on trying, but just couldn't push ourselves... Click on the map below for a larger version.

Check out the videos for the details...
Here we are getting our day started...notice we aren't quite as excited as we were the previous day.
Some thoughts while driving through Missouri...
Thoughts as we begin driving in Kansas...little did we know what we were starting...
More Kansas...wow...how long is this freaking state!?!?!
We finally make it to Colorado...
Dragging ourselves into Grand Junction, Colorado at a quarter to 11pm...serious doubt creeping in regarding going all the way home tonight, but we are both still talking tough at this point.
Yeah...we are done...we don't care about being macho anymore...Holiday Inn, here we come.
Ok, it has taken an hour to do this post (videos take a while to upload)...and I am BEYOND wasted....good night!

Wow! I'm sure it's nice to be home. We feel some of your road-trip pain. When we made the cross-country drive (NY to AZ), we got detoured on dirt roads through most of Missouri. It was awful!!
i remember that trip well from last summer. slc to boston in may and boston to slc in august. yeah, it's quite a drive. we had 2 kids, but about 5 to 6 days to make the drive. it was actually kind of fun. hope the rest of your trip goes well. you look tired! miss you guys already. who's gonna feed us sunday dinner? hehe. no really though, we miss you guys! elliot said to jeffrey the other day, "i miss the carvers. i miss caleb." i thought is was so sweet. you are missed.
Oh my goodness! I am exhausted just looking at this post! Im loving ALL the videos & Im thinking that maybe dad's dream of driving cross country with mom will have died now that he has no butt left..haha. Hurray for making it all the way!!
Hey, it's Traci Summers. I worked at TNI. I noticed you said Kansas is the most boring place on earth. That hurts...I was born and raised in Kansas. But, I'll let you get away with it...cause, I really have no desire of going back there.
Moving sucks so bad. We only had to drive about 16 hours but it sucked because Jordin was only 3 weeks old. It looks like you got to spend some good time with your dad. Hope all goes well with the rest of things moving in and all the travels that you have to do for work. Good Luck!
