Day 2

Well, we slept well last night after our adventurous day 1..We had breakfast at the hotel and went back to the room and I discovered that I had not brought the plug-in part of my charger for my I-phone, so as we were leaving the hotel Walmart was next to us and I went in and bought me a plug-in for the phone..After leaving Hays, KS we went on toward Denver, CO on I-70. We saw lots of wheat fields and cattle. Also, saw lots of old home places that had been left by the roadside for decoration, I guess. They did look kinda neat, nothing like the old house standing on Hwy. 5 in Benton. As we traveled on, Bobby had a bag of Tropical Fruit Mix in the cup holder and I picked it up and spilt it in the car. Bobby said I did it only so I could pick out what I wanted to eat and leave the rest including the raisins for him. By the way, he is having me keep notes of all these stupid things I am doing..Once, we got into Denver, we went to the Hammond Candy Factory, we had seen it on Food Network. We were going to take a tour but there were so many people and KIDS there that we just looked around and I bought a few pieces, since it was very expensive($22.95 for a pound of chocolate and $15.00 for hard candy), and we left and came on out to Central City and Blackhawk. We are staying at the Fortune Valley Casino in Central City. We have played the slots some and rode up and down the streets. The weather is cold and wet. We have seen some snow, had some rain, so we have had a mixed bag of weather. Tomorrow we are going back into Denver and visit with Pat's parents. So as you can see, today was not quite as eventful, thank goodness, as yesterday. I hope we don't wake up to much of the white stuff in the AM, but if we do it should melt fast.....
