The Second Big Road Trip of 2009

28 hours and 1,900 miles later, we washed up in Missouri. 28 hours is a lot of driving--but given that flying yesterday would have been impossible, given the snarls from the big storm on the East Coast (my folks got a foot of snow, btw), I feel confident that driving to Missouri was actually faster than flying. We slept and drove in shifts, ate out of the backseat, and saw seven states. I missed Arizona and New Mexico, unfortunately, as we drove through there in the middle of the night--but I can safely say that Texas and Oklahoma looked exactly the same. And, if possible, Kansas is even more boring in winter.
