I can’t believe we keep getting up at 5 am. It’s ridiculous. Isn’t this vacation? Again we got on the road by 6 am . Butt hey when you are bringing Absolute Dosch Road Domination to I 70 then you got to bring it hard core. When showed up to our car we discovered that we had not picked the greatest parking spot and ended up with yellow leaves covering our windshield and hood.
Laura took her first driving West leg of a road trip and did great. She definitely has lessened her grip on the steering wheel compared to our first road trip she helped driving on.
A little bit of disappointment as there were no stamps to be had. After two great passport stamps it was a little disappointing. Brown versus Board of Education in Topeka, KS was closed and the other two options were about 90 miles off the beaten path. Not really an option when you are trekking to see grandmom Penny.
There is absolutely nothing in the Big state of Kansas. In fact a highlight was buying a magnet that said Kansas Blows with a Man being blown by a tornado.
The other stop we debated was these hand painted signs advertising the world’s largest prairie dog( 8, 000pounds), rattlesnakes, elk, pigs, Russian Boars and 36 inch donkeys.
When we actually got to the stop the sight looked like rusted cages and extremely creepy , way too much for us too handle, a place straight out of a horror film.
The highlight of the day was definitely getting to Denver in time to visit with Laura’s Grandmom Penny and Aunt Amy which was awesome.
We then drove in to downtown Denver and went to baseball game at Coors field.
First we ate at a creepy Mexican place which claims to have the best jazz in Denver the El Chalupatec and had the special smothered burrito which had a very unique sauce on it. It was the kind of place that even though we were recommended it in our baseball road trip guide book it was extremely creepy and warm with no AC.
The actual park experience was great. We passed on Rocky Mountain Oysters. No fried bull testicles for me. They had a cool Place called “the Sandlot Brewery “ with excellent beers and has been rated of the best small breweries in America. Kind of cool to see the mountains while at a baseball game. Can’t beat 4 dollars for a ticket to a baseball game which really creates a unique family viewing experience.

Our GPS is amazing. We are loving life, I’m getting to bed earlier and that is a wrap especially since I have no clue when this will actually get posted.
