2000 miles (almost)....final stop before Denver!

Our day off in Kansas City yesterday was uneventful, we ended up at an outlet mall and movie theatre where are watched Pacific Rim (forgettable) and The Lone Ranger (fantastic).

Today we've been back on the road for another 300 miles, and have arrived safely for an overnight stop in Hays (slap bang between Kansas City & Denver). The first week of full-on driving is coming to an end. We have almost clocked up 2000 miles of the total 4000 mile road trip, which feels like a great achievement. 

The current scenery is nothing to write home about; long straight, flat roads with corn fields running along side. This adds to the anticipation of arriving in Denver through the Rockies tomorrow. Just 330 miles (4.5 hours driving time to go). These days that feels like a walk in the park, but back home that would get me from London to Gretna Green (just inside the Scottish border!). 

I'm sure there will be plenty of pictures to share tomorrow so come back soon....

PS with baby news big in the headlines I have to mention I am very proud to be an aunty again with a very special arrival yesterday...well done to the Inger/Brights! Just one more to go....come on baby M&J!
