After we made sure everyone was sufficiently hydrated we started our trek across the country. The first three states went by quickly (TN, KY, IL) then they started slowing down! We stopped in St. Louis to have a longer lunch and stretch our legs. We really enjoyed our lunch at this cute little Italian Village...well...the first time around it was enjoyable...more on that in a sec.
After lunch Matt kept driving us through MO and through most of KS. We stopped for dinner in po-dunk Kansas then Matt drove another 2 hours to our final destination for the day - Hays, KS. I'll spare the details but let's just say lunch came back around to bite me and mom around 1:00 AM. After an hour in the bathroom and kicking mom outside the room to see her lunch again in the hallway I proudly exited and announced, "ok men - we are SICK". Matt and dad jumped into action.
Ok, ok so I'll spare the rest of the details, we'll just say I don't throw up unless its food poisoning so thank you Mama Campissi's in St. Louis for the adventure. I told Matt the next morning that I wanted to find a clinic in Hays to get some fluids b/c I for sure didn't want to spend a day in the ER in Denver. We found a great hospital with an excellent staff who fixed me up with anti-nausea medicine and 2 liters of fluid. I left very sleepy but feeling better. Here are a few pics from my camera in the ER...
I should get a milkshake for this...right mom?
This is what I look like nauseous - I hope no one ever sees this again!
So, moving on - we FINALLY reach Estes Park late that night and explore our amazing house that mom and dad rented. It had a huge hot tub on the deck, sound system throughout the whole house playing the ipod, a pool table, a wii, and a GYM equiped with basketball, dodgeball, and hockey! 
Ok that's it for now - I've got to go to bed...more mountain pics coming soon!
