Road Trip--Day One

Today we crossed Wyoming and Nebraska. We drove past lots of historic and interesting places. But because of the distance we need to cover in the amount of time we have, we couldn't stop and sight see. We could only read about them and look at pictures at rest stops. We followed much the same path as the Oregon Trail. We saw pictures of wagon train ruts. We made one great discovery--my bladder is not what it used to be. Traveling with me today was like traveling with the princess when she was two years old and we had to stop at every public restroom between PA and GA. Speaking of the Princess, we talked extensively to her from Slovakia. Ah, the wonder of cell phones. She told us a story about trying to explain the English pronunciation difference between piss and piece. (Go ahead and say them both like Chekov and you'll see the problem.) In the book we are reading aloud in the car about Hank the cowdog, Hank claimed he was flatulent in several languages. And we had breakfast and lunch at Burger King and have a great start on our Star Trek glass collection. Tomorrow we will cross Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana. We will be on the lookout for Spock and Nero. Wagons ho!
