Happy Thanksgiving!

The thanksgiving-traditions.com website says “The key to a Thanksgiving menu is to choose foods that will represent the idea of giving thanks for a good year, a harvesting of good fortune, and the sharing of the bounty of your efforts with friends and family. In today's world, the only limit on preparing a Thanksgiving Dinner is an individual's imagination and creativity.” I love the concept. Here in College Station, TX, we haven’t yet decided what’s on our menu for today, but we’ve got plenty to be thankful for. Hope everyone has a relaxing day with family and friends wherever you find yourself this year.

Here’s a fun Thanksgiving quiz for after dinner:

Take me home, country road...

Here is our route so far…just over 13,000 miles and counting. The red flag shows where we are now; the yellow flags are other stops. The little moons are supposed to be where we have spent the night, but they’re not completely accurate. We’ve been through 29 states in the past two and a half months, but the mid-west and north-west are looking pretty bare. I’m sure that will change as we head out to California in the next few weeks! We’ll do a final map at the end of the tour.

Welcome to Michigan

I guess winter is finally here. After having lucked out for the last ten weeks with the majority of work days being close to 80 degrees or more we've gotten knocked back into reality. Mid November in Michigan is cold damn it!! We arrived in East Lansing just in time, as it started to snow around 3 pm. Wish us luck for this Saturday's festivities. Maybe there will be a pic of a snowman on Sunday.

We're Not In Kansas Anymore

Just after the main coarse was served at the Edinburgh, IN Crackerbarrel, we got a visit from the manager. He politely asked us if we would mind joining the rest of the patrons in the back of the "house". What he meant was the kitchen as there were tornados sighted in the vicinity. We gladly obliged and hung out in the back while the storm blew over and resumed our meal after about 15 minutes. Above is a photo of the storm survivors thanks to Crackerbarrel.

Introducing Mandy

On our trip from Jacksonville to Blacksburg we had a pitstop in Atlanta. This is a pic of the brains of Mobile Media's operation- Mandy Loeber's desk. Wonderfully decorated I might add.
