Almost time to get on the road again!

Tomorrow is D-day...departure day! We went to Target today to get the essentials. Thanks to one of my students, Raphie, I had a gift certificate to help with the purchases. What do you need for a trip across the United States? Here's my list:

1. water
2. string cheese
3. a lawn chair (which we forgot so I will be going back later!)
4. sunscreen
5. toothpaste
6. hair bands
7. some books, including one by Bill Bryson about Small Town America

We will soon find out if that is really all you need to drive across the United States! What would be on your Target list?

Here is a picture of the map that AAA gave us. I'm sure Kalman, my map lover, will enjoy seeing this picture! The orange line shows the giant circle we will be making. The little circles are all our stops along the way.



Our first circle...Louisville, Kentucky! We leave tomorrow morning and hopefully, if all goes well, we will be at the Super 8 by tomorrow night.
