Oh the places you'll go, Part II

Jeffrey's birthday was this Tuesday, and for his big birthday present we visited his home-town in Hudson, Wisconsin.

We roadtripped to get there. I discovered that there is really not too much to look at on that roadtrip. And it takes a really long time. But it was worth it, and I think roadtrips are great.

Tips on how to keep yourself occupied if you ever find yourself traveling through Wyoming, Nebraska, or Iowa (or any of the Mid-central States for that matter):

• Sing any song that comes up on your iPod. At the top of your lungs. And car dance. (I knew Jeffrey really loved me when he said, "K, I wanna listen to some Beyonce now." Oh my heart soared!!!)
• I spy doesn't work for grown-ups...but you can try.
• Nap!!-as long as you aren't the driver
• Try navigating- it can be fun to measure out distances or finding weird places of interests in states.
• Find a 100 ounce thermal mug. It produces hours of energy, entertainment (lots of, "Wow, this really is huge, everytime you pick it up), and more pit stops.

• Try tiny, mess-less crafts like crotcheting. Or knitting, if you prefer.

• Write cards to people. Everyone loves good mail (especially me), and it will make you a happier traveller!

Of course, you may just get lucky every now and then and find interesting things to look at.
Here were some of my favorites.
