Road Trip day 1

Friday morning 5:15am - Alarm clock goes off, time to get moving.

We ended up leaving town at 7am, which is close to a record for us. I think Ruth asked us a hundred times if we were at Buffalo yet. (A variant of 'Are we there yet?')

The drive went well, not a lot of travelers on the road. The ones that were on the road going the same direction as us seemed to be from many different locations. I saw license plates on passenger vehicles from the following states:
  • Hawaii
  • Washington
  • Oregon
  • California
  • Idaho
  • Utah
  • Arizona
  • Wyoming
  • Colorado
  • Texas
  • Missouri
  • Nebraska
  • Texas (a number of them)
  • Arkansas (a bunch of them, not sure where all those people have been or where they are going)
  • Georgia
  • South Carolina
  • Tennessee
  • Conneticut
  • Ohio
  • Wisconsin
  • Minnesota

20 different states, and I was asleep for an hour, but not while driving.

We got to North Platte, like we planned. We had a reservation for a "Kids suite" at the Holiday Inn, which is nice, if only the girls would go to sleep when we want them too. Adam had a hard time adjusting to the new environment, he wouldn't stop crying until 1am, when I laid him down in the crib, turn the TV on Disney Channel, and muted the channel...

Today we have a lot of driving to do it get to the next hotel. Hopefully we make it.
