Driven to Distraction

Sometimes life just moves really fast and it's hard to keep up. Such was the case with our trip. Sometimes I didn't have internet access. Sometimes I was just having too much fun to bother. But I'll try and recap some highlights.

The Colorado-Kansas-Missouri-Indiana-Illinois-Kentucky-West Virginia-Virginia v1.0-North Carolina portion of the trip was just Kent and I.

Sadly, not shown, was the game with my 7-letter, first word on the board play that earned me 66 points right out of the gate.
