Trip to the West 2008 - July 5th

Day 1 - It's finally here! Busta and Anna were up with the birds (including me) and were ready to go at 6:45. Wanda wasn't quite ready, so we hand to kill some time before we picked her up. Busta and Anna got ice for the cooler. At least, that's what I gathered. Someone stuck me with his "man purse" (ahem ... Busta) and I got buried in with his camera, trip itinerary and other assorted "manly" stuff (I didn't notice any barbells, though ...)


Anyway, when Wanda got in the car, she graciously took me out and placed me on the seat so that I was perched over Busta's right shoulder. I couldn't see anything to the left due to Busta's girth, but the windshield view was fantastic!




So we started our trip. From what they were talking about, our destination for today was Sterling, Colorado. Sounds exciting! Let's go!


Iowa was amazing! Corn as far as my beady little eyes could see! Good thing the windows were up, as I might've flown out and had my fill on that lovely corn!


I had almost drowned in my own drool before we got to Nebraska. Of course, I was in chicken heaven when we got to Nebraska. So much space to fly! I want out of the car! Let me out of the car! And they let me out! Silly fools! Wait a minute? I don't know where your hands been, Wanda! Fine, I'll take a picture, but I'm not going to like it!




OK, so I like having my picture taken. When I got back in the car, they were playing their incessant "CDs". And when there 60's CDs were done, they would turn to the radio that was playing the same songs! How bizarre?


Actually, what was bizarre was the fact that Busta's car was a weather-controlling car. When the windshield wipers were on, the rain stopped. When the windshield wipers were off, it started to rain. And apparently it only rains when it's sunny in Nebraska? Very odd.


Soon we were in Colorado, home of the Pony Express. They let me out again. Now's my chance! Freedom! Wait a minute? Anna, I definitely don't know where your hands have been! Fine, but I'm not going to like it!








OK, so I like it! What is the deal with that!

We got to Sterling, Colorado around 6 PM. They left me so they could got eat dinner, and when they got back, I was in the middle of getting ready for bed. They wouldn't leave me alone!

Here's me in the shower:



And here I am brushing my teeth:




Now, I am tired! I will write about Day 2 tomorrow!
