Falling In Love--In Kansas?

Day 32
Hayes, KS to Denver CO
348 miles
Kansas, home to Dorothy and Toto, and miles and miles of corn fields. We are westward bound on the 70 West—just before we reached Colby we saw huge fields of big yellow sunflowers—makes sense—Kansas is the sunflower state. But, driving by and seeing these glorious fields filled with huge yellow flowers and blue skies with white clouds—I fell in love. I would have liked to stop and, well, pick as many as I could hold—what to do with them next—I am not sure—but there is something awesome about seeing a sea of yellow flowers—it would make a great back drop for a picture. It made me think that maybe in my next life I could choose to be a sunflower farmer—ok and a bunny keeper. We’re staying at a Marriot that has a Lone Star Steak House across the parking lot—the boys have already looked at the menu and have dinner planned. Because it’s early we’ll go see the new Bourne Ultimatum movie at a local theater and then count the miles tomorrow before we get to Melissa and Chad’s house in Grand Junction. :)

You will love the movie- It's a bit violent at times and not nearly as good as the book. But still a great flick (specially if your a boy).
