Expedition to Colorado Pt. 1

  A few months ago my sister Lesley, and her friend, decided to plan a trip out to Colorado, and my brother and I were able to get enough together to go with. We stayed with our friends, the Schamels, on their lovely home out  near Colorado Springs, and ended up even getting to  follow them out-I was really glad about this, because that should cut out the risk of getting lost! Heh heh. Let me continue..

  First you should hear about the car we took. It was Audrey's, and got much better gas mileage; the downside was it was only a four seater, and there wasn't a whole lot of trunk space, nor leg room for Justin, who is around six foot. We did a "dry-run" however, and felt that we could do it, even though poor Justin had a few doubts.
  So we rode in the little Bumble bee, as Audrey tagged it. We met up with our friends at a Wal-Mart, and immediately lost them. This is where it gets good.:) We were able to catch up with them at a gas station, and kept them in sight until we were out of Kansas City-we could see them ahead, but had some cars in between.. then they started driving funny! They went to the left lane. Then the right lane. Then they exited off, and we, while wondering why they'd chosen this unlikely looking exit, followed in hot pursuit-only to discover we were following the wrong white van!!:D We sighted more white vans during this trip that I could remember. And they followed the wrong yellow car too, which was pretty funny as well!
  So we are by ourselves, and Lee is following Amber's directions via text, and using the gps. Well, here comes an exit that looks like the one we want, but we aren't sure until right at the last minute, they think it is-so Audrey crosses two or three lanes of traffic and gets on-to the wrong one! We saw a lot of scenery this way, but I could have done without seeing so much of Kansas.:D

  So, on the other side of Kansas, (Justin was riding with the Schamel's by this point), we drive and drive on very boring scenery, filled with tall windmills. We finally cross the Colorado border without having gotten lost again, but promptly do so when the gps tells us to get off on the wrong exit, and leads us to the town's high school, instead of the restaurant we were trying to find. Fun, fun! After that we had Amber with us, and didn't end up getting lost again, though we did run out of gas; but God let our vehicle run until we got to the station!

  We made it to their beautiful home, and were more than ready to hit the hay by this time, but, not knowing we were to get up at 6:30, Audrey and I didn't fall asleep right away, but talked-whoops! We did get up and around pretty well, when Lee woke us, and made it to Bible study on time.:) This was the tip section of my story, so I'd better cut it off before it gets even longer, and just write another. Cheerio!
