Em-por-ia (sung like "Notorious")




We are almost 8 hours into our drive. I took the first driving shift from 5 to about 10:20 when my stomach was ready for PB & J. We stopped somewhere just over the border in Missouri where gas was $3.55! While I investigated the travel plaza, Becky cleaned the bugs off the windshield. Her efforts were for naught though since 10 minutes after being back in the car, the bug blood and guts were baaaaaaaack.




After we lost US 99.5 somewhere in IL, we popped in the scavenger hunt cd the soon-to-be-famous Jennie made us. For each song, she challenged us to take a picture according to something mentioned in the lyrics. It'll be fairly simple to get a pic of a Geek in Pink from the Jason Mraz song (as I believe I packed a shirt in the pink family.) However, the “take a pic of a summer boy you'd like to get” might prove to be tricky. The license plates for Kansas have said “America's Heartland” not “America's Hottieland.”

Best decision of the trip thus far: Packing Hershey's miniatures for the cooler. Nothing like a cold Mr. Goodbar to go along with your 1 o'clock DP.

TTFN, folks.
Meg

P.S. Check out this license plate. Jealous?
