Day 2

Today we woke up and had the best breakfast I ever had at a hotel before. You'd think this was a start to a great day but it was defiantly not. We then packed up the car and began our nine hour car ride. On the way we stopped at the town of Oakley. It was a small town with the Fick Fossil Museum. It was a small museum, with not much there, but it was still quite interesting. There was also a park there, but we didn't stay there long. There was two reasons for this. Reason one is because the park was made of all metal, and reason two is because it was 104 degrees outside.

We then drove until we reached the city of Genoa, Kansas. I don't think you could even call it a city though. There was absolutely nothing there, I didn't see anyone throughout the entire town. We had to stop because my mom had to use the bathroom. We stopped there at a convenience store with a sign that said open. We opened the door to see nothing but junk, cobwebs and lots of dust. There was no one inside, and no one was brave enough to go into the store. So we decided to just go to a different town, with people in it.

Hours later we finally made it to Colorado Springs. We got to our hotel, Travelodge. Then, since we hadn't eaten anything since breakfast we went in search for a restaurant that a man had told us was good. We drove around for a long time not finding it, then suddenly in an alleyway our tire popped. So now we had a flat tire in the middle of town. So we called up AAA an put on a spare. Then we drove to a Mexican restaurant ate and ate and ate. The we went back to the hotel and slept and slept and slept. The perfect ending to the worst day.
