From Stella: Today was a whole lotta nothing.We stopped for lunch in Topeka and we had realllly good panini. We saw the capital of Kansas, Topeka. Kansas isn't really flat or mountainy, it's more of rolling hills. After we got to the hotel, I got to go swimming. There was a pool noodle! Then we went to target and ate dinner at Olive Garden and it was really good.
From Stacey: We slept well in St. Louis! I think it was the white knuckle, high blood pressure drive through torrential rain back from Bob and Lisa's house to our hotel. We got on the road early for a long drive from St. Louis to Salina, Kansas. Nothing too exciting happened today, and only 1 new state today. We didn't get lost (yay)! Uneventful travel is sometimes a good thing. We drove and drove. As my dad so wisely said, "Kansas is miles and miles of miles and miles". I'm still confused about how an interstate can justify a toll, but who cares because the speed limit in Kansas is 75 (which means faster than 75). Kansas is pretty but fairly flat with lots of farm-like things (corn, cows, soy, wheat). We got into the hotel, I did laundry (exciting) while Stella went for a swim. We had to find a Target or Walmart because Stella's flip-flop broke. Salina (pronounced sa-lie-nah) is the cutest little town with lots of old houses from the early 1900's and a quaint little downtown area. We explored a little and are back in the hotel, preparing for tomorrow's long drive to Denver!
