Roadtrip and Lawrence

Rather than taking I-80 across country to our new home, Rick opted for the OH-IN-IL-MO-KS-CO-UT-NV-CA route.  It was nice because we got to go through Lawrence, Kansas - KU Jayhawk Mecca.  Rick hadn't been in years and I had never been.  In short, it rocked.  We did some serious shopping at the bookstore and even saw some basketball players outside the fieldhouse.


In the course of our trip Rick got to see his best friend from elementary school (KS) and his best friend from high school (CO).


The kids were great on the trip.  Simon only cried if he was hungry.  He was completely content with a few toys.  We had lots of toys, treats, books, and movies stashed for Piper.  Rick got unexpectedly sick overnight in KS but it was just a 24-hour bug and I drove that day.  Five days was a long trip in the car but hey, we made it.
