Road Trip Bonanza Part 3

Oh good gosh...this probably won't come as a surprise to you but I honestly can't tell if these pictures are from the latter part of day 1, entering Utah, or day 2, approaching Colorado! Uff da!

Debby took them with her phone while I was driving and she sent them to me yesterday but she couldn't remember WHEN she took them either, LOL. So enjoy the scenery!!

We go outside to load up the car to find that it had lightly snowed. Check out the windshield.


For the first 15 minutes of our drive all is going well. And then...all of a sudden, Cuddles begins to change into demon kitty. Oh oh! Pull out the iPhone and find a PETCO, quick!

9:04 a.m.
PETCO
We got there just as they opened! Debby ran inside and bought 2 of the magic collars. We put one in the cage and within 5 minutes, Cuddles was as calm as a sleeping kitten. Road trip back on track! We drove on for a spell and then decided to check out a rest stop - and the snow, LOL.


I had not been in or near snow in years so I was excited to jump out and walk around.


Such a cool looking rest stop!


 Look! A Bigfoot foot print!



I am loving this.

 

10:29 a.m.
We pull into Vail, Colorado...lots of people skiing! I "checked in" on Foursquare just so I could say I had been to Vail, LOL.

11:03 a.m.
Valero Gas
The windshield was icing up so we stopped to get some windshield cleaner with de-icer. Good thing to have!

12:36 p.m.
Brighton, CO
Time for lunch. We got off the highway and started looking for a place to eat...


...and ended up at Chick-fil-A. After lunch we looked for a gas station...found one...and it was closed. I pulled out my iPhone to find the next one and we went on a wild goose chase of sorts. Finally found one, gassed up and we were on our way once again. I must say, for a girl that grew up in the big city surrounded by stuff, I was very impressed to see nothing for miles and miles!




3:11 p.m.
Atwood, CO
Sinclair Gas
A quick pit stop and you would NOT believe the bathroom. I have pictures to prove how disgusting it was! I don't think the sinks have been cleaned since the place opened and WHO uses sodas to prop the door open????



4:51 p.m.
Conoco
Time to stop and trade places so I walked around the car a few times, Debby took a smoke break and then she took over the steering wheel.

8:29 p.m.
Roadway Inn
Kearney, Nebraska
By this time, we were soooo tired and really looking forward to dinner and some sleep. By the time we got the car unloaded and got the cat situated we were too tired to drive anywhere. Luckily, there was a restaurant 2 doors down so we walked...

8:52 p.m.
Since it was so late (I'm used to eating dinner around 6) Debby and I decided to share an appetizer sampler plate. I was so hungry, I forgot to take a picture of it, LOL. However, we decided to have dessert and I do have pictures of that!



Great way to end the day, right??

Getting back into the swing of things...

Image
It's been a rough couple of days... I came back to work only to be told that I will no longer have a job as of February 1st! Ya, it was a big shocker to me, too. That being said, everything else is back to "normal" and I will begin posting on a regular basis again. Below is a little video I put together taken on my last night in Florida. There is a wonderful little town called Ocala, which I dearly love. I am providing links to two sites, one here and one here , so you can have a little information about the place. OOPS! I just realized that I had posted some of the previous video earlier in the week. Oh well.. at least this one contains new footage, LOL. Peter said I tired him how SO MUCH that I can't go back to Florida for at least two years. hee hee hee

Disneyland Trash Cans

Image
Yes Folks, trash cans! Do you know where these two beauties are? You'll find them as soon as you come through the gates at Disneyland. This should be easy to figure out - Adventureland! How about these? Hmmm??? New Orleans Square! Here's a trick question: Which two lands share the same style of trash can??? You can find these two in Frontierland. Now we're in Fantasyland. Still in Fantasyland but wait!!! The area around It's A Small World has it's very own trash can theme! Tomorrowland!!! OK all you hot shots... WHERE is this MYSTERY trash can???? Do these look familiar? They should. Critter Country has the same theme as Frontierland. I know what you're thinking...you're thinking that I've already posted these and I'm trying to trick you. HA! I have not already posted these! If you look closely, these differ slightly from the trash cans in New Orleans Square. THESE are in the area next to the Haunted ...

Upside down Christmas Trees?

Image
We interrupt our Disneyland visit to bring you a few pics from Tom's Farms . Ever heard of it? Unless you live in Southern California, probably not. It's a neato keen place and I really dig it. I had not been there in 10 years so it was high time I paid them a visit. They have tons of outdoor seating and it's a great place to people watch. I had a great bacon cheeseburger and then walked off my lunch by window shopping. A life sized Santa! (And he looks a bit creepy the way he's standing there. "Hey baby.." Ever seen an upside down Christmas tree? Me either! I decided to take pictures of all the trees... Look! Another upside down Christmas tree. Here's a twist - HALF of an upside down Christmas tree hung on the wall! I kinda like it. These are ginormous ornaments hanging from the ceiling. I'm already planning a return trip to Tom's Farms. I've always wanted a sleigh bed. Ain't he cute??? There is a big can...
