1/23/09 We Made it to Burlington!

Greetings,

Colorado, that is!! We drove a little over 600 miles today. Our goal was to get on the other side of Denver and we made it further than we thought we could.

We saw incredible sites on the drive today from Utah to Denver. We ran into a little snow and sleet on the pass (14,000 feet) but we made it thru. Sometimes they close the road so we were lucky.

Yesterday we drove thru Zion National Park. Kate, you were right, it was totally awesome. The tunnel thru the mountains was a little scary but we made it. Pete was driving and got a little nervous but the sights were worth it. Last night we stayed in Richfield, Utah.

This whole trip has been so great. I can't believe we are on our way back east. We are both freezing tonight. The cold we could do without.

Some of the sights we've seen today and throughout the trip have been sights we have only seen in pictures. Between the two of us we have probably said "WOW" hundreds of times.

Tonight we are in a motel that is probable over 50 years old but it has wireless. Yeah!

Take care and keep trucking! Love, Miss Annie and Mr. Pete

P.S. In twelve days I think I have only been called Louise(Nana) twice. Is that a record, or what?
