Go east young woman...


Me, Stephie and the boys are going on a road trip. We are leaving from Spanish Fort,Al. and driving to Baltimore, Md. We have mapped us a scenic drive so we can take advance of a part of the country we have never seen. Once we get out of Tennessee, we will be in unknown territory. It is about 1,000 miles from here to there and we are looking at 2 days travel time.


We have our maps and also a TOM TOM to guide us on our journey. Maybe we will not get to lost.....the TOM TOM has a woman's voice(will have to change that) since it was a Christmas gift for Hubby and she gets really irritated if you do not do what she says...

"At the next light turn right" Turn right at the next light...."Make a U turn immediately and turn left as soon as possible...."

Do you want me to map a new route?????

You know the little person in the TOM TOM is thinking...alright STUPID turn around and do what I tell you. If you knew where you were going...why did you ask me???? Maybe she will not get to irritated with us....or he....

Anyway, Stephie has planned our week (she is our social director)and we are going to be very busy seeing all the wonderful things in that part of the country.

SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!

So we're off the see Abe, George W (could be Washington or the the other one), the Vietnam War Memorial, Gettsburg (history major),Holcaust Museum, Hershey Chocolate factory..you can make your own flavor of Hershey Kiss....

FUN FUN FUN.......

How funny! When we were on vacation the hubby had a navigation system installed in his new truck. Every time we would decide to go a different route the thing would try and get us to turn around. We kept laughing, picturing some woman getting really irritated with us and saying to herself, "turn around stupid! turn around!"

Have a great trip.
I live half way between Washington DC and Baltimore so if you are driving along I95 between there, at some point you will be less than 2 miles from my house!

Sounds great--enjoy!

My father's GPS is less irritable than yours...she just says "recalculating" when you divert from her preselected path. Who knew that they'd have distinct personalities?
