Lily and I just took a road trip from Charleston, South Carolina back home to Boulder, Colorado. It was a great adventure and we had a lot of fun.
Charleston is a gorgeous southern city, it was hard to leave. After leaving Charleston we drove north into North Carolina and stopped at a sketchy "Mexican" restaurant outside of Asheville, we both had grilled cheeses that cost a whopping $1.40. We spent the first night in Lexington, Kentucky; it was fairly uneventful.
Day two took us through Lexington, the bottom of Illinois, and then we stopped for lunch in St. Louis.
We continued through Missouri and stopped for the night in Lawrence, Kansas. We had dinner at a delicious restaurant downtown called ingredient and then walked through KU's campus. We ended
the night at The Wheel, a bar close to campus that's been popular since my dad was at KU 40 years ago.We got up the next morning and hurried back to Boulder in time for CU's graduation. Overall the trip was a great success; we ran into lots of characters along the way (like this guy) and had a few near death experiences...
