Flying trip

Had a long road trip this weekend!Like, over the river and through the woods. What do you do as you ride along... Ha! With your brother no less? Do you have entertainment that you use on your family trips? Here's what we did: Get caught up on family matters... laugh.... discuss the itinerary.... eat pretzels and cheese.... listen to music that's on the IPod..... remember... stop for gas.... (several times in fact) nap...(well, just one of us naps) And all around us are miles of oncoming traffic, rolling hills, frozen cornfields. We run into snow midway through through the trip. The car doesn't handle the snow on the road too well.

Then we cross the Illinois River at Peoria. We've arrived. Finding an address in the dark is a challenge. Good thing we weren't on the Amazing Race because we took a couple of short misturns. And knocked on the wrong door. My directional shorthand notes were a bit difficult to decipher!! Funny the directions I remembered that were never given. And our trip back? Rehashing the weekend... music... movie games...

The whole trip lasted 36hours.
