Kansas heat...9/9 2013

So it's time to pack up and hit the road! We have a long trip a head of us. We are planning to drive around 2400 km...Missouri-Kansas-Colorado-Wyoming - Montana...and we're gonna take our time, stop whenever we feel for it...

We got ready in the morning, left Stella around 10, just before Jamies sleeping time. We are trying to drive when she needs to sleep, then we only have Natalie to entertain...N is usually good. We have alot for her to read and coloring books..And we also plan not to drive too many hours. Its better to stop and play around before they had enough of driving. That keeps everyone happier! 
Anyway we drove up to Joplin ,MO, before we head west on I 400 and in to Kansas. It was going to be a hot day. We ate a mexican lunch in Parsons..good but so much food. I 've learned to order small drinks, they are big enough!  Me and Natalie share one meal, and it's still plenty leftovers. Many people asks for doggy bags to bring food home, here it's nothing weird about that.

Since it was an extreme warm day (reached 100 F...) so over fever temperature.... we drove alot in the middle of the day and stopped to El dorado State Park and spent the late afternoon swimming at a Beach! in central Kansas... wonderful. Well kept place to stay, great playground by the lake, showers and we were almost alone there. A perfect way to end our day. We brought some food and ate outside before it was time for the girls to go night sleep in the car. We continued to Salina, slept in a motel American Inn (80USD) for all incl. a decent breakfast. Totally driving right at 450 km. 

I'm gonna try to put up pics and write more everytime I got internet access...

Over and out...

( Does anyone know a good way to put up a map on the blog where I can mark places we've been etc?? )
