Out West Day 1

So, I guess I should start by saying that I went out west this summer with two of my best friends.  I needed to go out west to visit a grad school, and I have always wanted to take a road trip.  My parents have always been supportive of this, and now that college is almost over and I have yet to have my grand adventure, I wanted to take it with the women who have meant the most to me over my college life.  

The destination? Boulder Colorado to visit Naropa University, and to have as many adventures as possible together before the three of us go our separate ways for grad school.  The trip encompassed 12 days, over 1500 miles and 14 states.  It was amazing.

Day 1: Sunday May 18th, 2008

So we left Wilkes-by-god-county around 1.  Dad went over everything with the three of us on the RV one last time, packed up and then got lunch with the wonderful parents before setting out.  I drove the whole time, and we made it to Frankfort Kentucky before nightfall and stayed the night in the Wal-Mart.  The day was just driving, singing, talking and laughing.

Before we left, in front of the coffee house with Dad.
During the trip, we each had a new name for the RV.  Aly called her TT, Kristen, Gert and I called her Bessie.  We all had ended with a love/hate relationship with her.
