Yes, I found out about this on Tuesday and am only getting around to posting it now. I’m terribly sorry, but I’m sure most of you already heard about it anyway. If you didn’t: I’m moving to San Francisco for the summer.
ROAD TRIP!
Also, my mother and I are planning to drive the approximately 2,500 miles from Piqua, Ohio, to San Francisco. When I was younger, we never did a ton of traveling. I’ve never been to Disneyworld or seen the Grand Canyon. We’re going to remedy at least one of those this summer (obviously, the one that’s in between Ohio and California).
So what am I doing this summer? Well I got an internship at Mac|Life. I have their link in my sidebar list of links, so you can go check it out. I will probably post more about this as it gets closer to summertime. Until then…just know that you’ll get a barrage of posts in June about driving across the country/living in a new city.
If you were driving to San Francisco, where would you stop along the way?
go to car stonehenge, and other random crazy places
I googled Carhenge and it’s in Alliance, Neb. I don’t know if we were planning to drive through Nebraska, but it’s worth looking into.
Ok so remember that one time in like 8th grade (i think…maybe not) possibly in an english/creative writing class of some sort (i really have no idea when this memory came from I’m just guessing lol) when we looked up random thinks and found the mcdonalds that is like over an interstate? i think you should go there. lol. i don’t remember where it was or anything but i remember talking about wanting to go there. haha. totally random but this made me think of it. =)
Hahaha, oh man. It’s this: http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/2287
I think I’d try going to: any major city that would be on the way like Oklahoma City, Albuquerque, etc. and a few quirky roadside attractions.
Yeah, I really want to visit St. Louis. I hadn’t thought of Albuquerque though. That could be interesting.
I’m so insanely jealous my dear Amy.
And the first thing I thought of was that damn McDonald’s! I think you should stop in a really greasy truck-stop and take a shower. Live dangerously my friend.
(I had to be showered off at the tender age of 5 in such a truck-stop while driving back from Florida after my cousin threw up on me. This probably explains a lot more than I realize.)
I plan to annoy my mother into stopping at as many truck stops as possible. I LOVE truck stops.
