Day 3 - Oklahoma City to Denver

So today was a long day of driving. I left Oklahoma City at 9 AM (right on schedule again) and headed north. Not a lot to do between Oklahoma City and Denver, so I knew I'd have my work cut out for me in terms of keeping myself entertained. I did find one winery just outside of Wichita and I hit that up around noon. It was decent - lots of sweet wines, which I'm not big on, but they had a couple that I liked. I bought one to enjoy in Denver.

From Wichita, I continued to head north to Salina and turned west toward Denver. Kansas is not the most interesting state to drive across, not a lot to look at, so I entertained myself with listening to the 2nd Harry Potter book. I'm not done yet, but I got through a good portion of it. A couple observations from today's drive:
1. People that do not use cruise control on vehicles that obviously have it annoy the shit out of me. Seriously people - pick a speed and stick with it. We end up playing tag for miles and miles on end.
2. The clock on my car automatically adjusted when I crossed into a new time zone. So cool!

I arrived at my friend Michelle's house right on schedule at 6:30 (that's a 10 hour drive plus 2 stops along the way if you're counting). We hung out for a bit to visit and then went to see an 80's band she knows with her boyfriend. Had a great time, but now am pretty tired.

Plan for tomorrow is to get breakfast and then check out a couple places downtown - the Molly Brown House specifically. My mother tells me that I went there once as a kid, but I don't remember it. I was going to do a volksmarch tomorrow, but I think I'm going to skip it and only do the Capitol one on Monday - that's the one I really wanted to do anyway. Tomorrow night, Michelle and I are going to go to karaoke and then we're going to see a performance of Sense & Sensibility, The Musical. I'm excited for that!

I also have to deal with upgrading my flickr account apparently. I have apparently hit my limit of 300 MB of uploads per month. Considering looking for a different service, but I already have everything organized on flickr. grrrrr.
