Spencer and I got home 2 days ago from our road trip! We drove about 4600 miles total in 8 days. Our major landmarks included:

i) wind farms of west Texas
ii) the grave of Billy the Kid
iii) Red Rocks of NM
iv) 4 Corners
v) Rocky Mountains of Colorado
vi) Mt. Rushmore
vii) Budweiser Factory
viii) Pike's Peak
iix) Great Sand Dunes National Park

And I got a ton of pictures; but I think I'll drop a few in just for good measure:

somewhere in west Texas.

4 corners monument.

"Avalanche" Campsite in CO.

where are we?

Yup. We had a great time, and we didn't kill each other by the week's end! The remainder of my vacation's going to be much rougher: moving to KC. My parents are really serious about my getting everything of mine out of the house tout de suite. Thankfully, Spencer's coming with me to move my stuff in. So I guess I'll post another update later.

I'm not ashamed to admit my mind's been wandering lately on what I'm going to do with my free time. On the trip, I finished reading an introduction book to the Linux OS, so I'm planning on switching my computer soon. I'm really dissatisfied with the level of security Windows has, and I'm certainly not paying for Vista anytime soon. Other than that, there are a ton of crafty projects I've got lined up:

i) building the clock kit that Stacey got me.
ii) Make: Ornithopter project
iii) Make: Digital Dice
iv) Make: $5 Cracker box amp

So yeah, wish me luck getting motivated, and wish me luck getting all moved in.
