We took a some what unplanned road odd-essy to our soon to be new town to look for a place to live this past week. It was a grand experiment because Eva has never spent more that 3 hours in the car and this excursion entailed about 17 hours on the road. She did really well.
We found a place to rent that will be really nice for our family. We don't have a lease yet but the land-lord has given us a verbal commitment. Finger's crossed...
Notes from the road:
- if you are driving so slow in a 70 mph zone that an 18 wheeler has to pass you on an up hill stretch I think in the future you should just stick to the back roads.
- We got 47.3 miles per gallon in the prius on the return trip home.
- It was sad to have to drive all the way back to Missouri.
- Who knew Indiana had so many trees and hills...There more than corn in Indiana.
- Our GPS machine is awesome.
- Americans are by and large fat and wasteful people.
- A Prairie Home Companion is best when only heard once in a single day
