Texas Trip- Part 6

I realize this is the 6th part our trip- but we were gone for 15 days!!

Thursday and Friday we made the long drive home. Thursday we drove to Salina, KS where we spent the night. Friday we drove the rest of the way. We like to pack a lunch in a cooler and find a park to eat and play at. It gives us a break from the car.
On Friday we stopped in Burlington, CO and found an AWESOME park. You just never see toys as cool and fun as this anymore. It was HUGE and all connected.

We met a nice lady at the park who told us about the "world famous" carousel that Burlington has. So after lunch we drove over to it and paid 25 cents a piece for a ride! The animals don't move up and down but they are all handmade and painted, and the whole thing is over a hundred years old.

And one more note we want to remember- we stopped in Oakley, KS to use the bathroom and all the signs were tattered and the windows of the gas station were shattered- but still intact, or boarded up. They had just had a tornado a few days before. What are the odds.

And, one more thing....we are glad to be home! Our whole trip was 3500 miles!
