Ten on Tuesday: Baby, You Can Drive My Car

 
Ten on Tuesday:  10 Ways to Have Fun on Long Car Rides

1.  Rockin' it out!  It's a sunny 75F, the windows are rolled down, my hair's blowin' in the wind, and it's nothing short of another miracle if I get where I'm going without a speeding ticket (knocking on wood).  Beep Beep!!  Yeah.

 
2.  Look at a map (or something) and take a new route, perhaps a road less traveled.

3.  Read.  I like to page through and catch up on periodicals.

 
4.  Watch the sky.

 
5.  Pay attention to seasonal changes in the landscape.

 
6.  Play the "ABC" game.  When we go up north, we often go through Minocqua -- a resort and tourist area with a DQ and plenty of pizza joints -- and I've been known to run through the ABCs twice before we're driving through nothing but forest again!

7.  Snooze.

 
8.  Find someplace fun and new to eat.

 
9.  Stop and see some sites along the way.

 
10.  Knit.  I have a photo somewhere of my knitting on the dashboard of Ali's car, but I can't find it right now!  Picture it in your mind's eye... I'm pretty sure it was a Mason-Dixon dishcloth.  FOUND IT -- June 2006!

Hahahaha - the first thing I thought when you said the window's down, rockin' it out in the car is you won't get a speeding fine, you'll get a citation for blogging and/or knitting whilst driving! LOL
Man, makes me want to go for a road trip. It is well over a year since the last one
