We had made a list of things to pack which ended up being 5.5 pages long. Macyn had her own suitcase, DH and I each had 1, plus all Macyn's food, supplies, diapers, tub, pool, high chair, stroller, portable crib, etc. DH & I both had bets going that this would not all fit. Thanks to DH's awesome Tetris packing skillz, we survived! We also had a cooler in the front of the car with more food and drinks. Now that the car was packed, it was time for bed (about 10:15) and set the alarm from 2:40 AM.The first few hours went really well, since Macyn slept most the time. We did run into some severe storms with heavy rain and a spectacular lightning show. Once we hit Lincoln, NE they started to let up and made traveling a little less stressful.
We had to make pit stops here and there to change peanut's diaper and feed her. Sometimes we stopped just to let her play, and had to stop for a big poopy pants! So one of our stops was the Tourist Trap Tee Pee. We had a nice little picnic and got a nice photo op by this stallion statue thingy. There was a massive tourist building so we stopped where this crazy lady followed us around, giving us tons and tons of brochures and booklets. Most were useless, but it gave me something to look at in the car (and ideas of things to see for later).
A few short hours later we had arrived in Colorado! We pretty much chillaxed once we got there, unpacked a few things, and went to Walrus Ice Cream in old downtown. Sooooooo good. We spent about $30 total on ice cream while we were in Colorado alone (multiple visits to Walrus) That's a lot to be spent on ice cream, but hey, we are on vacation! And it was well worth it!So pretty much our first day was just traveling, relaxing, ice cream eating, and sleeping (or lack there of - Macyn was up 5 times the 1st night)! But overall a great day.
More vacation adventures to come....
