Road Trip!

Mona and I both had off work yesterday, so we hit the road Jack.

Anytime we both have a day off, we grab our bags, find what clean clothes we can (we are terrible at keeping up with laundry), get in the car, and go wherever the wind takes us.

This is one of my favorite things ever of all times. No plans, no destination, just the wind in my hair and the open road.

We have found some wonderful and unexpected places on our travels. We have taken tours of president's homes, revolving jails, old theaters, and lakes so deep you can scuba dive.

There has also been lots of great food and lots of great coffee (my personal favorite).

There have only been a few times where I have gotten Mona into situations where she feared for her life.

Like when I made her take take the bus in California and she thought we got lost and were going to be kidnapped and sold into the sex trade (we weren't lost...we were just transferring buses in the middle of a Mexican community on a corner where some people were tying to make a living.)

Or the time we stopped for a tour of a small maple factory (and by small I mean it was in their barn in the middle backwoods of Wisconsin with no one around for miles. They were lovely people..I don't see why Mona thought they were going to murder us and no one would hear our screams) And she outright said "NO!" to touring a shut down mental institution!
