Day 2 and we're at the KOA in Goodland, KS.  We were on the road nearly 8 hours today, taking a few stops to stretch and walk the dogs.  Lucy is such a good traveler, she loves being on the go and pretty much sleeps the entire time.  Bailey on the other hand is so scared and won't sleep no matter how tired she is.  She reminds me of a baby fighting sleep.... her eyes will close for 5 or 10 seconds, then pop back open.
About the most exciting thing we saw today was a wind farm.  These windmills are huge, and there were so many as far as you could see. 




Had to also get a picture of flat Kansas lol  It's so flat here you can see forever it seems.
After being in the truck for 8 hours, it was nice to finally get here and settle in for the night.  I spent most of the drive complaining about being hot, only to find out about an hour before we stopped that the vents were closed on my side of the truck lol  Once here we went to find a place to eat, something other than fast food where we could sit for a while and that was a major undertaking.  This town has nothing unless you want burgers and pizza.  We found a local guy (Larry talks to anyone and everyone lol) who took us on a tour of the 2 sit down restaurants they have here.

The girls were happy to finally be out of the truck, too.  After eating their dinner, and taking a nice walk they were ready to sack out!





Tomorrow we'll be in Colorado Springs, hopefully only about a 3 hour drive at the most.  We'll be staying there for a week, so will be able to finally settle in for a little while and do some sight seeing!
