It's a total of 35ish hours and lots of miles! We are trying to split it up into shorter trips, which I plan on driving. I'm thinking I'll drive to WV and then he can drive to Louisville. Then, I'll drive from Louisville to St. Louis and to Kansas City. From that point on, depending on the snow and road conditions, Kevin will have to drive the rest of the way... That makes it 15.5 hours for me and 20 hours for him! That's pretty even, right!? We're going to stop at some cool places, like my mom's for free food, and Louisville to visit my childhood home and my old elementary school. After that, we're heading to the St. Louis arch and Kansas City should be kinda cool! Then, for New Year's Eve, we have a hotel room booked in Denver in a city view room so we can watch the fireworks from our room :)! After that, Salt Lake City, and then home! How cool is that!? Any cool attractions in our path? Suggestions for the long drive?
