KC to Denver is a long drive

Driving across Kansas is quite far and quite boring.  I guess many of you already know this, but if you don't, I'm telling you now.  It's 400+ odd miles of mostly flat farmlands with nothing to see or do.  It took us much of the day yesterday just traversing this vast wasteland.  At least the speed limit is 75.  Cruised across state and got to our hotel in Aurora just in time to catch overtime of the really boring match between Argentina and Netherlands.  Why didn't Netherlands try to score?  What a disappointing strategy.  Go for the win, rather than sit back and defend.  If the US had half the players they had, with our attitude, we'd win the entire World Cup.

After a super long car ride, we were pretty darn hungry, having only eaten snacks all day in car.  Decided to go to (yet another) Man v. Food favorite, this time it was Beau Jo's pizza, home of the Colorado style pizza. it's kind of like Chicago deep-dish, but sans dish.  Just a really super thick pizza filled with toppings galore. Their menu was awesome.  We got a two pound half-n-half pie, my half was filled with every meat possible and Susan's was filled with veggies.  Guess which was better?  We had to compare this to Mellow Mushroom, but they are so different, it's hard to compare.  I guess it just comes down to what style pizza one prefers.  Anyway it was good.  Yet another great meal on this journey.

Decided to do some walking in downtown Denver and went to State Capitol.  Really nice there.
