On the Road From Californi it is a hard and hideous Journey (not really but I didn't want to change the lyric too much.

It's cold.  Has been since we left. We've hit light weather but all around us we have seen storms in the distance.  The pictures show it.  It's been smooth sailing so having nothing to report is nice. I hope, with the exception of cool things, we have an uneventful time driving. 

Both vehicles are ranging from 6 to 10 mph and gas is crazy. By far the worst gas prices in 4 years. But we shall endure. 

AS we enter each state Mami pulls out history and social studies books and reads  all kinds of facts about the state. Homeschoolers always.   We learned about the Pika, a rodent that looks like a bunny without long ears. See I even learned something...btw they live in the Rockies. 

We did see a few interesting things.  A nice rainbow (sadly the camera didn't capture the splendor or deep colors we saw. )  We also saw a strange device on a trailer....it looked interesting so we snapped a shot.  Then there was the tent trailer that looked like it was driving itself.  It took quite a while until we saw the tiny Toyota truck in front of it.  It was freaky. 

Did I mention it's cold. James woke up last night and feeling sorry for Buttercup he took him to the shower and gave him a steaming. That was in Wendover, NV. Tonight is Laramie. And it is still COLD. I'm wearing a Hawaiian shirt with a fleece over it.
