Do you think we can drive straight through from Denver to Madison?

If you don't start until 1 p.m.... which is 2 p.m. in Madison?

It's about 1000 miles. Oh, how can we stop at some motel in Nebraska or Iowa when we've got 2 drivers and we can take turns snoozing in the passenger seat? Even with the vision-blurring lightning storm between Des Moines and Dubuque, we're going to keep going. Crossing the Mississippi, we're almost home. It's familiar territory. Familiar names ? Mineral Point, Mount Horeb, Verona ? make the final hour serene. Add to that the dawn...

... and we rolled into town at 6 a.m. ? a good time for a long nap, in our own bed, in our own house, for the first time as husband and wife.
