Road trip day one!

Well, we ended up hitting the road around 6. It was a little later than we wanted, but we still beat the sun! As we were driving down the highway in Kentucky, I glanced behind us and saw the sun coming up over the mountains.
We crossed over into Indiana pretty early in the day and it was so cool when we went into another time zone! . After that, we got into Illinois, which has just tons of fields for as far as the eye can see. I thought Kentucky had huge fields, but the ones we saw in Illinois were massive. I had a great time just looking out the windows and taking in the sights. Oh yeah, did I mention I actually got to be the passenger for the first half of the trip!
After Illinois, we crossed over into Missouri, and about 20 minutes later, we saw the awesome arch in downtown ST. Louis. It is so big! Then we drove on some back roads on our way to rt.44. We stopped down the road a ways at a candy factory and found a building that claimed to be the worlds largest gift shop. We decided not to go in, since we are trying to make good time and we probably would have been in there forever!
After a while, we realized that we were traveling parallel to rt.66. We really wish we had more time, because that would be a great ride. Eventually, we crossed into Oklahoma, where we could literally see fields for miles. We came across a huge area with tons of windmills.
At the end of our day, we saw the sun setting in Oklahoma. Now we are exhausted, and going to sleep as much as possible before heading back on the road tomorrow. I wonder where we will see the sun set then?
