The Step-Daughter is gone - thank you!

Well, we made the trip to Colorado. We left Thursday night/Friday morning. I went to sleep at 10 p.m. and was woke up around 1:30. We got in the car, me, bf, and step-daughter. When I travel I'm ready to hit the road but bf had to stop to get gas, go to Wal-Mart, and eat. We didn't leave the West side of Columbus until 5:00 a.m. About an hour later we had a flat tire. It was bitter cold and blowing some snow. What a pain in the ass. After changing the tire and keeping bf from getting hit by passing cars we were on our way. We drove straight through to Colorado Springs arriving around 10 p.m. our time, 8 Colorado time.

On our way to drop Sd off at momma's house I find out that there is an elaborate lie brewing. It seems that she told her mom she was taking the bus and yada yada yada. The girl can not tell the truth, even when there is no reason to lie. It seems she was afraid that if she told momma that bf brought her momma would pitch a bitch (hopefully Sd). I told them that I was sick and tired and tired and sick of all her lies about everything. Anyway, we drop her off and go to bf's sisters. I am exhausted and excuse myself to sleep. Sister is very, very loud so I couldn't sleep until everyone went to bed.

Next morning sister makes an exceptionally large breakfast of eggs, brats, potatoes. We eat and get ready to tour. Colorado Springs is a very nice city. We went to the Garden of the Gods, picture of bf and sister will be posted. Then we went the Manitou Springs which is an old mining town turned tourist/artist shopping. I tend to buy what I see that I'd like when browsing but sister said, no, don't buy at the first place. We look around and check back. Well I can't do that because after 5 or 6 stores I forget where this and that were. She guaranteed me that she remembered (she didn't). I did purchase a turquoise ring. Then bf and I dropped off sister, niece and nephew and drove up the mountain to Cripple Creek. Cripple Creek is another nining town turn casinos. We lost $

Next day we had lunch with sister #2 - I liked her alot. Then I made him drive through Denver and then we went East. We left Colorado Springs at 4:00 EST or 2 Colorado time. We were tired and ended up spending the night in Kansas (which is not as flat as I'd been lead to believe - I saw rolling hills). Then Sunday we got up and started driving. We got home at 1:00 a.m. Tuesday after 12 hours straight driving. It was a tiring 4 days but I enjoyed the scenery and now I've been to Kansas and Colorado.

Now, I'm going to try to upload pictures. I have no idea where they will go!!!
