I'm so happy right now. Why? Because I'm relaxing in a VERY comfortable King size bed in a nice comfy hotel room in a safe area. Waaaayy better than last night's hotel. Yay! (Thanks Daniel) My stop for tonight is Lincoln, Nebraska. The part of Nebraska I've driven through so far has a lot of farmland. Today, I drove through Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, and part of Nebraska. I was so happy to leave Illinois. What a boring state. I hated driving through St. Louis, MO more than I can express. It was raining cats and dogs, and traffic was crazy. I literally have knots in my neck and shoulders from driving through that city and through Kansas City. I never wish to drive through either of those cities ever again. St. Louis was just as bad as Atlanta. Kind of. As soon as I got into Missouri today, it was cold and windy outside everywhere I went. I didn't expect colder weather until, I don't know, Nebraska. haha!
I thought to myself today.....Who drives across the U.S. by themselves? Who in the world thinks that is a good idea? I don't like it. It's soooo exhausting. How do truck drivers do their jobs? LOL. After these past two days, I have decided I am going to rally for someone to fly out to Oregon at the end of my internship, and ride back home with me. If you don't live where I live, I will drop you off. Just something for all of you lovely folks to think about. 4 days with yours truly! haha.
License plate I saw today said: ANTEKUN
What do you think its supposed to say? I came up with two different ideas. 1. Its a different way to say and spell Annakin Skywalker. or 2. It's a very country way of saying Antiqueing (sp?). Hmmm...what a fun game. Let me know if you have any ideas.
Oh yeah, I wanted to tell you, I got to see several sports stadiums on my drive. I saw where the St. Louis Cardinals play (took all I had not to stop for Daniel), where the Kansas City Royals and Kansas City Chiefs play, and I'm right down the street from where the University of Nebraska (Cornhuskers) play. I didn't stop at any of these stadiums, but you can bet when I go through Boise on Sunday, I will be stopping to catch a glimpse of that blue field! Headed to sleep! Sorry if my blog was scatter-brained, that's what happens when you drive all day I guess.
I totally understand. You're bringing back memories of driving through Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Georgia. I loved tracking the cranes, but the driving (also the cities and the crappy hotels) was awful.
ReplyDeleteI hope the last legs of the trip feel much faster. at least you won't have to drive through st. louis again!
Cherry we miss you so bad! I hope your trip is going great! Oh how I wish I could fly out there and drive back with you!
