The Open Road

First you feel like Lightening McQueen . . . cruising down Route 66 . . .



a few hours later it's more like Thelma and Louise . . . give me a cliff and I just might go over the edge!



1 mini van, 4 kids, & a 9 hour trip - the first half was great (thank you nap time) the last half involved crying, puking, and lots of breaks.



A bit of insanity. I think the open spaces effect people is strange ways. Meteor craters and petrified forests and fake dinosaurs lining the roadside. Long stretches of freeway with nothing but billboard after billboard. No homes, no towns, no exits, just billboards. Large, huge, billboards advertising "Bookends!" Huh?? Bookends?? really? You're driving in the middle of nowhere for miles on end. . . who is thinking "I need me some bookends." How about a restroom and some gas?? Another board: "Sharp deals on knifes!" the picture accompanying this was a dinosaur with ICE CREAM painted on it. What demographic are they looking for? A Harley rider who collects weapons and loves a cool vanilla cone??
