Denver Trip

Day 3

8-20-08

Gilmore Girls

I love vacations, even when I have to wake up at 6:30 in the very, very AM. Today I have my doctors’ appointment at the Women’s Center for an annual exam I’ve put off for a couple of years. The doctors’ office is close to mom’s work, so she is going to take me on her hour lunch break. Which of course means I had to come to work with her. I could not find a internet connection so I grabbed disk 3 of the second season of Gilmore Girls and am having a small marathon in a corner empty desk. I’ve had 1.5 cups of coffee so far and a single bite of Slim-Fast Optima Chewy Granola Chocolate Chip Bar. I’ve only had one bite because my stomach immediately rejected that single bite and there’s not much chance of me eating anymore unless I become starved. (Which might happen cause, I don’t think mom planned food in this day, lol!) I might have her drop me off at the mall after the doctors’ appt. Yummm, over priced food court pizza…every mall has that right??? One can hope.

The visit was the best one I have had, ever. From now on I have to come to CO once a year for this exam. We ate burgers down in the hospital cafeteria, my Turkey, Bacon Cheeseburger and fries were delicious. Mom dropped me off at the mall where I found the pizza area and grabbed what looked to be a supremely delicious pepperoni/olive pizza, looks can be deceiving. I hate to say it, but this mall was boring. There was not a single place that sold DVD’s or CD’s, and the only electronic store was Radio Shack, I won’t even go into that store as everything is twice the cost it should be. So I found a place to get a 20 minute massage for $20, it felt great! I decided to go for a walk and ended up walking crossing four six lane roads (at the stop lights) and taking a bridge over a highway before finding myself at Mom’s place of work. I may have taken one wrong turn at some point too. But I made it, in thirty minutes no less.

As a person, Mom’s boss is very nice. I may have jumped on him for turning off the air conditioning a little after I arrived because I was still hot from my walk. The sun IS a mile closer after all, and even though I pretty much walk everywhere I can walk to, I still get hot. We had great conversations about school and getting through it and what to do after ward. He told me that I needed to come live in Colorado. A woman mom does not like came in and accused me of being my mom’s replacement. I rolled my eyes. Then it was time to go.

The trip back did not seem to take nearly as long as it did yesterday. Of course I was not feeling sick either. We stopped at King Soopers for a few provisions before making our way the few blocks back to the house. I made a pizza and we lay in bed eating it while watching Eureka, then mom went to bed and I went on to watch Dead Zone, Ghost Hunters International and something else that was so unimpressive apparently, that’s I’ve forgotten what it was!

Road Trip: Day Two: Three State Run

10-1-07

The morning began early enough, around 7 something. We were clean, dressed and packed with in the hour and after watching a piece of the scary, new Wonka movie, we drove off, away from the sun. A quick breakfast at McDonalds and we were off, stopping here and there for restroom breaks and snacks. We finally got to El Paso at I don't even know what time, where I went to my first Casino. Spending $11, we left the time part of New Mexico and headed to Olive Garden only to find that we would have to wait for a table. We left and ended up at Double Daves Pizza. Completely full, we set out again.

New Mexico

Five miles later and what I thought was impossible happened, we left Texas. New Mexico was a comparatively short drive with a great view of a storm.

We stopped at a rest stop in Arizona at around 3pm and stayed for awhile dad talked to Mom K on the phone.

According to a sign at this rest stop, you can poop in it, pee in it, wash your hands in it, but whatever you do, don't drink the water!

In Stein New Mexico you will find a small closed down ghost town. I wonder as I get out to take pictures from beyond the gate keeping me from going into the town; if this ghost town is closed for the season or for good.

Steins Ghost Town

For about 200 miles, driving down I-10 with nothing but dirt, mountain's, hills and small desert bushes; signs will appear advertising The Thing? Have you seen it? My dad as a young child used to make this trip all the time with his dad and would always ask him if he could see The Thing? His dad told him it was a scam and would never pull in. Dad, on his way to military training began to see the signs again. Out of curiosity he pulled in and saw The Thing? So as we drove down the road and the signs began to appear dad began to get my interest going I found myself waiting for the next sign to find out how far away we were. Finally, hours and hours later we were there. So what is The Thing?

The Thing

I'm not say saying!

We found ourselves in Phoenix Arizona in the end, where we stayed at LQ, with wireless access. Yay!
