Katie Beth is looking out from the obsevation car as we head west to
Denver.
I Call Top Bunk
Katie Beth and I are settling into our room.
Waiting on Our Trian
We have had a long day. But, Karen and I have new coats to show for it.
Our luggage is checked and we wait.
Quick Dinner in WalMart Parking Lot
There is nothing like traveling and eating on the go with a toddler.
No Coats!
Karen has made a discovery on our trip. We forgot our coats!
It is already cold here in Corinth, MS at 49 degrees. But, we are heading to Chicago were it is 38 degrees. After Chicago, we are heading to Colorado Springs were it will be even colder.
The search is on the coats as we drive to Memphis, TN.
Buzzard Roost Spring
We stopped for a quick break to let Katie Beth burn off energy. In the background, you see the Buzzard Roost Spring on Natchez Trace.
Traveling again
The journey has just started. Last time it was plane. This time auto and
train.
We have barely made it out of Alabama and she is already asleep.
Train Trip Starting Soon
We will be heading back out of town via Amtrak train. You will be able to keep track of our progress on my blog.
You may see actual progress as I figured out how to post Google maps with GPS data from my Garmin 60CSx. I may not, because all of this takes time. I think handling Katie Beth in a room no bigger than 6½’ x 7′ will be enough work.
If I don’t post the maps, you will still see photos along the way, which Flickr will map for you so you can see where we are or are not.
Back Home?
We are back home. But, home is fleeting. We are already plan/packing for the next trip.
Colorado Springs here we come, again.
Homeward Bound
Our trip is over. My work went well. Halloween was fun. We are coming back with more than we started.
Karen had a great time shopping at the downtown thrift stores. We planned for cool weather and had very harm weather. So, Karen picked up a few warm weather clothing items. Since we were going be in town for weeks, Karen picked up a few toys, too. Well, my travel was extended so Karen was back at the thrift store to pick up a Halloween costume (a cat), which you can see in the Halloween picture below.
Our hotel had on no microwave so I picked up $10 microwave. Karen has been loosing weight so her blue jeans were too big. She made another trip to get blue jeans and donate her larger blue jeans. We both pickup some books. I guess you can tell that Karen and I love thrift stores.
We will be returning to Colorado Springs very soon so the Antlers Hilton is holding our microwave, a stroller, and a large box of things.
