Day11

Well, cross off one more state on our road trip...so far, we have been through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and now Colorado.

After Robert got sewn up last night (we are glad to report that his only pain today was that his injury might leave a scar) we spent a very agreeable evening in Jackson Hole. We ordered some wonderful pizza and salad from the Mile High Pizza Pie Company and walked around this great little town while we were waiting for it to cook. After we got our food we went back for a VERY relaxing evening at the Best Western, which Brian dubbed the best hotel of the road trip.

We had a good breakfast and I got 10% off of our bill because the jacuzzi jets didn’t work in our huge tub.

Then we had a little problem as we tried to get on the road. Brian had gone last night to a specialty store in Jackson Hole looking for Wyoming-made wine (you remember I told about his little problem, right?) -- and she said nobody made wine in Wyoming.

Well, she was wrong, and Brian found out about it, and wanted to go buy some at this store he had heard about at 9am in the morning. We all said no, and he has seethed off and on all day, and told us on more than one occasion that he intends to purchase that wine online, and when he gets it he refuses to share with us (smile).

It has been a COMPLETELY uneventful day. Robert drove this morning until we stopped at McDonald’s for lunch. Johnny drove us to Craig, CO and Brian finished the drive to Glenwood Springs (for those of you who might not know, my wife Amy grew up here). We are not completely sure what our plans are, except that we all need to do laundry very badly. My in-laws are here on vacation and we will be staying at some friends of theirs. We did get about 5 drops of rain outside of Rifle, Co -- the first rain we had since we were in Western New Mexico a week ago Sunday.

Friday morning we drive to Denver and deposit Brian for his flight back and then Johnny, Robert and I will head home via Garden of the Gods Park in Colorado Springs. Thanks!!
