Traveling cross country from Portland OR to Charlotte NC - Day 4 - October 22th 2008

Our first day of real vacation during this trip! Finally, one day where we don't have to go anywhere...just chill out and enjoy the day quietly.

After a simple but yummy breakfast at the Foot of the Mountain Motel, we decided to go first to the laundromat, and to get rid of this chore. Luckily, the laundry had wifi and a coffee shop next door, so we were able to work online and enjoy our green teas while waiting for the laundry to be done.


Then, after picking up our lunch (sandwiches at Wild Oats-Whole Foods - who knows they were the same company?), we took our car and headed to the Rocky Mountain.


Even though the main road was closed due to the climate (the main road is always closed from mid-October to June), we were able to drive few miles inside the National Park, we enjoyed the wonderful scenery during the drive up, and we watched some wild wild life under the snow.



Our last stop for the day was at the Sink, boulder's famous spot for its burgers and its graffiti art all over the walls.


Then, back to our motel for a good night sleep. Next day was going to be a long one: more than 8 hours drive to Independent, Missouri (closed to Kansas City)
