The Big Trip West - Day Three, Going Nowhere

Yes, we are still at Leavenworth. But the Jeep is fixed and we are mostly loaded up. Another blessing to having this happen here was that Robert took it to the dealer (which he was regretting a bit this morning) and it turned out that most of the fix was covered under the powertrain warranty. So we paid less than we would have if some random person had fixed it.
We had a fun day, despite the delay. We spent most of the day at a shopping area called The Legends. We ate lunch at T-Rex and the kids played in the dig a dinosaur part. We then went to the bookstore and played with the trains. On our way out we made a run to Cold Stone Creamery (a day can never be bad when you get Cold Stone!) We were about 5 mintues from town when the dealer called that the Jeep was ready. So we picked it up, came back and rested and then started packing up. We're finishing up some Chinese take-out and about to start the bedtime process. We hope to get out early tomorrow and make it to North Platte, Nebraska. Stay tuned!
