There Should Be a Badge for Roadtripping

Thursday, October 11, 2012


Inching our way to Detroit. We stopped at the Delaware Water Gap to stretch our legs and finish up a Junior Ranger program. They didn't show up in the picture, but there were two ladies with kerchiefs on their heads and skirts pulled up to their knees sitting and looking at the water while smoking the sweetest, best-smelling cigars. Reminded me of my grandpa's pipe. 







We got to talking about Cash Cab (because Grandma watches it religiously), and we created Cash Car that Clunks. The spawn studied various science and social studies literature that we brought, and then I asked questions. They had to confer and if they got the answer right they earned $1 spending money for the trip. Surprising how steel-trap like their minds became. 

We are all tired of being in the car, but knowing what's in store this week I'm grateful to not be driving.
