1. Thanks to limited access highways it’s possible to drive across the country, and never actually see any of it.
2. If you pay to drive on a toll road, because it’s faster you should get a discount if it’s one big construction zone from one end to the other.
3. There is a place where there is more road construction than Michigan. Pennsylvania.
4. Google should add a new feature to it’s Map app that calculates Estimated Time of Arrival based on the following factors: Do you have kids? If so how many? What are their ages?
5. Ohio and Pennsylvania smell funny. I’m not trying to be offensive to those of you who call those places home, but they do. They really do.
6. Listening to Party in the USA by Milley Cyrus on the radio might be the biggest waste of three minutes of my life yet.
7. The woman who was waving and pointing wildly as she drove by the Berea, OH water tower on the Ohio turnpike, and swerved into the other lane? That was me trying to point out my birthplace to my husband. Watch for the brown historical marker sign coming soon.
8. We now know for sure that David is the troublemaker in the backseat. Usually we can’t even get to the grocery store without an incident. He was with Grandma when we went to Pennsylvania, and Wade was quiet, patient and well-behaved for the entire 10 1/2 hour trip.
9. The Pennsylvania Turnpike is an awful place to be in a torrential downpour. Water was literally pouring down the mountainsides, and flooding the road.
10. Mountains make me claustrophobic. I can’t stand that I can’t see beyond the next hump. And being in a valley surrounded on all sides? It really makes me crazy. I know that’s weird.
11. I’m glad I don’t live in Pennsylvania, because then I would have to learn how to spell Pennsylvania.
This is funny! I used to hate having to spell out Pennsylvania when I was in school, because I’d inevitably spell it wrong! LOL
