We spent two very long days on the road traveling from Colorado Springs through Kansas and Missouri to Greers Ferry, Arkansas (North of Little Rock). One of the joys of traveling east is watching the sunrise in the morning. The downside is having the sun in our eyes as we drive. But as we move east and south we are happy to find warmer weather.
As we travel these long days we sometimes have one passenger who is not as enthusiastic as the rest...... Occasionally, Simon refuses to do his school lessons in the car. Occasionally, he makes remarks that express what the rest of us are thinking........
"Simon, do you know how an oil pump works?" "I don't need to know."
"Simon, do you know how many states we have driven through?" "Too many." (The correct answer was 15.)
But all we need to do to improve his mood is find a bit of chocolate! Did you know that Russell Stover Chocolates are made in the state of Kansas? We discovered this and enjoyed a stop-over for some outlet sales. Russell Stover is the largest producer of boxed chocolates in the United States.
