Evergreen or Bust: Road Blog! (Day 7)

It's always a sad day when you have to leave a place you've been at for a few days, and it's made especially sad when the area is so gorgeous and the people are some of the nicest you've met. We said our goodbyes to the Finebergs and thanked them for being so incredibly nice and hospitable. We had a wonderful stay! Thank you so much!

After I thanked Justin for buying me all the worms for fishing, we hit the road and headed off, leaving Colorado behind us and heading into the never-ending driving. We stopped for a lunch bite at Da Kind in Evergreen. Excellent sandwiches and really incredible soups. [ link ] Then, we drove and drove and drove some more. Oh, we also did some driving.

We stopped in Omaha, NE for some grub at California Tacos & More. Apparently, the chef who started the restaurant had no prior experience and just jumped in and started making tacos. They are fantastic, and one taco is big enough to be a meal. California Tacos & More [ link ]. Delish!

We pulled into our hotel (The Ramada Inn) in Kearney, NE and hopped into our rooms. We had poolside rooms for the evening, which proved to be pretty sweet when we wanted access to the pool and raised tiki-bar, but pretty noisy when the tiki-bar patrons got a little... rowdy. But we had to have a least a drink at the tiki bar, and then Dan, Allen and I got locked in the hot tub room with a handful of teenage girls, a dad and his two little girls and a few other little girls of indeterminate origin. It was fun until one of the little girls started crying, but Danny stepped in and kept the girl calm until someone walking by let us out. Then it was time for sleep and getting ready for our day of driving, destination Davenport, IA.

Bumpin it,

Nate and Josh, It was just a pleasure talking with both of you outside at the Beachland Ballroom while we were waiting for our sons band to play. We were both imressede with each of you in that you both seem to be such good people. We did go to your web site and listened to your music which we both loved. Hopefully you will be back in NE Ohio sometime soon and we can actually get to hear you live. Good luck to all of you. John and Pam Robinson drjohn40@aol.com

Thanks, John and Pam! It was a real pleasure meeting you and thank you for checking us out. We'll let you know when we're going to be in Ohio next, for sure. I had the pleasure of meeting your son in the parking lot while we were all packing up and he's a very nice young man. You should be proud. Cheers!
