Days 2 - 4: Salt Lake City, UT and Boulder, CO

Driving has been exhausting so far! Today is our "day off" from driving, so it'll be nice to relax and check out what Boulder has to offer.

Coming from San Jose, the trip to Salt Lake City took about 12 hours. The drive wasn't bad at all until we got to Utah, when all of a sudden we got caught in a salt storm (yes, a salt storm). It blew over after about a minute or two, but caught both of us completely off guard.

The stay at Salt Lake City was nice, considering all we really did was get there, shower, and sleep.

The drive to Boulder was much shorter; we left at 7 in the morning and got to Boulder around 3 in the afternoon. I guess we didn't have to stop at Boulder, but the idea was to stay somewhere a bit more 'college'-y. We walked around to find dinner yesterday and ran into offices for Google and Bing, which was a bit unexpected. Finally ended up at Walnut Brewery (one of the only places open) for beers and food, and enjoyed the sounds of fireworks from our hotel room.

It was nice to sleep in today! I meant to take the bike out and do some local biking around, but sleep just felt... nicer.

Off to Kansas City tomorrow! Will likely update again once I get there. In the meantime, I signed up for softwaretestingclub.com, so I could learn more about testing. My profile should be acceptable by sometime tomorrow, but hopefully tonight!
