America with George * Ohio to South Carolina * A road trip

For the next few weeks I am going to be using this space to communicate with my kids, please excuse the change of tone and content. George is Jude's stuffed dragon.


"Are we there yet!?" We took a ten hour road trip from Ohio to South Carolina. Here is the map of our route. Speaking of maps - this is a really interesting one. It is a picture of a New Zealand map on top of an American map. I think it is cool to see how big America is compared to New Zealand.

It was really special for mom to get to go on a road trip with her family. We saw some interesting things... like the worlds largest picnic basket. It was pretty weird. Papa's friend calls it an architectural abomination. Those are big words... you can click on them to find out what they mean.

We listened to Garrison Keillor read the News from Lake Wobegon. When mom was a little bit older than you, she loved to listen to this on road trips. We also listened to some of Grammy and Papa's music on pandora - Creedence Clearwater Revival, Fleetwood Mac, Paul Simon, Elton John, The Beatles and James Taylor... they had pretty good taste in music back in the day.

- Love George
