Four Days No Blog

The past four days I have not been writing my blog. I will make up Wednesday's post today. At 6:30 AM, I woke up and rolled around in bed for 15 minutes. Throughout this week I had been planning the vacation to Colorado. When morning came, my dad said that he wanted to go to Boulder on the weekend (because his friend would be working if we went any later). Though we were planning to leave by eight, after all the packing, it was nine by the time we left. My dad, my grandpa, my two sisters, and I comfortly got into the eight-seater car. Despite the extra cargo from snacks, and all the suitcases for the ten day trip, we all wheedled into locations, sitting in awkward poses.

At lunch we went to a Chipotle. By 1 we were out, and we went into Utah by three o'clock. I got to go to the visitor center and look at some maps of the state. It was another four hours until my dad stopped driving at Richfield, UT  and we went to a Subway for dinner.

Playing at the hotel, and sleeping until the next day marked the end of the first day of the long road trip.

On the second day, we awoke at 7 for breakfast. At 8, we packed and left the city to go to Denver, CO.  After 3 hours, we were excited by the feeling of coming into a new state. The sign said, "Welcome to Colorful Colorado." We had lunch in one of the first cities we saw in Colorado, Fruita.
The next few hours were boring, covering miles in wild, forest territory. After getting to Denver, we drove North to Boulder County. My dad came to visit his college friend and I remember having to constantly change clothes to something more formal, or not as messy.  We ate at some Chinese restaurant. After eating, my father talked with his friend for a while. Meanwhile, us kids were watching the 2016 Olympic Games on the TV. At 7, we went back to the hotel, that night I slept really well.

The second day marked the end of the heavy traveling, and it was my introduction to Colorado.
