A Day at a Time: For My Dad...

For My Dad...

In true Dad road trip-style, the other day we drove an extra 3-1/2 hours through this....

and this...

and this road construction...

Just so we could see this....

(North Dakota is a new state for Glen and all five of the kids.)

But if we'd gone the short way, we wouldn't have seen this....

so I guess it was worth it. :)

Now who wants to guess which state is the only one I haven't been to? And how many Glen has before he catches up to me?

Deanne said...: That's the perfect road trip. Just think of the stories your kids will be able to tell when they get older! "My parents drove an extra 3 1/2 hours just so we could see..."

My guess is Hawaii or Maine or somewhere random like Louisiana. Glen might have 10 to catch up?; August 19, 2011 at 5:38 AM
K said...: I think Glen just posted on FB how many more states he needs to see, so I can't guess that one. I also KNOW which state you haven't been to, so I can't guess that one either. Just consider my answers right on both of them. (o: Hope you are still having a good time on your trip. Wish we were there.; August 21, 2011 at 10:43 PM
