Travel Days 1 & 2

Tomorrow we will finally be home. We are so excited. The last 2 mornings when I told Emma we would be in hotels at night, not California, she cried. Tomorrow morning I can finally tell her we are going to California! 
We left at 7:15 Monday morning, and drove straight to Goodland, KS. (It was  hard having to tell her we were still in KS.) we had lunch at a park, then headed to FE Warren AFB, in Cheyenne, Wyoming. It was a nice stay. They even had a park outside TLF. And a live wandering pronghorn outside the Front Desk. 
Emma has been sharing my bed when we travel. We brought her bed rail, but apparently it's unnecessary as she stays as humanly close as possible to me, at all times...no matter how many times I move her over. I also had to take her leg off my back, her arm off my face, oh, and snuggling with Emma means she hugs your neck...so it can be hard to breathe. But if you remember the first time she ever slept in the same bed as me was our trip to KS, I guess I can put up with a little 'octopus-ing,'she is pretty cute. Plus I forgot her bear to snuggle with.
Anyway, she woke up Tuesday morning at 5am. Our sleep is just off. She did nap a little in the car, but still, I know she is tired. We left at 7 again, made a few more stops than yesterday, but they were shorter. Today was our long day, made even longer due to lots of construction. Wyoming will have some nice roads. So the extra stops were good for us to get out and stretch. We also had great scenery today...we passed through the Rockies, by the Great Salt Lake, and some salt flats. She also loves all the windmills.
So far...Emma has done ok. She has had way more frustrating moments than last trip, but she was exhausted even before we left. I did let her finally watch a movie this evening on the last leg. But she has been enjoying all her new toys, books, ect.
One last picture with Grandma Joy. 
Group hug before we left. 
Finger puppets...Emma calls them Mario and the princess.

She found a place for Polly while she goes potty.
