Our first day on the road! Click on any photo to see a larger version.

Things got off to a roaring start at 8am, when we packed the car.

There's room for nary an extra crumb in the Forester's trunk.

We're ready to go. And still quite groggy.

Dan is stoked to be on the road.

Ryan is equally stoked.

In Fort Collins, we realize that the Courthouse Offices were different from the actual County Courthouse. Bummer.

We passed through Brush! Brush is really excited about their town's name.

Ryan and Kristina made a sign so that random passers-by might stumble upon our blog.

Julesburg is a small town in the northeast corner of Colorado.

On our road trip, "Hey, Cow!" has been our game of choice, and involves rolling down the window, screaming "Hey, Cow!" at cows, and counting how many turn their heads.

In Julesberg, we played a variation on this game, called "Hey Julesburg!"

We took a short side trip to see Nebraska. It looks like this. The whole state.

Of course, we also worked on our main goal of photographing ourselves in front of every Colorado county court house. Without further adieu, here are those photos!

Boulder, Boulder County. (Note: from now on, we don't trust civilians to take our photos, but use a handy dandy tripod.)
