We got a bit of a late start today because we were both up late taking care of a few things. (Matt's test was probably more important than my clothes sorting and tv watching.) We ended up in the middle of nowhere between Gillette and Buffalo, so it was nice to have the luxury of a pick-up because there were no houses in sight.
We were on the interstate all day, so we were able to make really good time. A cool breeze, plenty of powerade, and somoe support from Matt's parents made it possible for us to go all day without stopping more than 30 seconds to grab a powerade or some food out of the stroller.
I got myself in the mood for Wyoming by starting to read the Louis Lamour book I just bought. It's pretty cool to be able to see the same scenery around you that you're reading about. It made to day go by pretty quickly.
By the end of the day we could see the Bighorns in the distance and it immediately reminded me of Mount Doom. I suppose I'm a big enough nerd that most things will remind me of something from the Lord of the Rings.
Matt's parents are leaving tomorrow, so our days of comfort are coming to an end, but I think their visit was enough to energize us for a while. They have been great.
That's it for now, I'm tired and have some stuff to do. Be on the look-out for some information on the bracelets. I myself have not seen what they look like yet, but I know they are going to be sweet and everyone should buy a few. Matt will hopefully have a bunch of pictures posted in the morning, so look forward to that.
