Travelling–again (Raquel)

Here we are in Colorado. We travelled through rain , mist, and one looong stretch of highway with a complete dearth of restaurants. It became obvious to us that most of the population of Colorado never eats, but we finally arrived in Denver where they do indeed have food (it must be for all the visitors, because we now know that Coloradoans never eat). This may be the last blog post I get to write before the eighteenth when we will be home again. Unfortunately I have very little of interest to say. When I get back to Illinois my life will return to it’s normal state of crazy-full, but right now it’s a traveling kind of crazy-full which is not all that interesting to relate. Will the hotel breakfast contain anything besides sugary foods to feed to the children? Will the Spanish-speaking cleaning ladies try to force more clean towels on us before we need them? *suspenseful music swells* With a lack of topics more exciting that breakfasts and towels, I will give you our actual quotes from the trip thus far.
“She thought your hand was an entire pack of dogs.”
“You may not play with the machine gun in the car.”
“Hey! Who put crayons in my shoes?”
