A road trip by the numbers.............

I took off to Illinois to visit my parents last Thursday, taking my 2 young sons with me. So, here is a description of our trip, by the numbers.

18 cars in the ditch between Champaign and Indianapolis
2 semi trucks in the ditch
3 tow trucks needed to pull one of those semis out
3 meals at McDonalds
4 different beds that DS1 slept in
3 aunts and uncles visited
4 cousins visited
8 cups of coffee consumed on the road
12 potty stops
5 tanks of less expensive American gas put in the car
18 hours driven
3 internet friends visited with in person
1 old girlfriend visited with
3 grandparents seen
256 songs listened to on the Ipod (anyone for Convoy 6 times?)
13 podcasts listened to on the Ipod
60 dollars spent at Hobby Lobby on Scrap Crap
3 alcoholic beverages consumed while watching Grey's

We had a good trip, but it is good to be home.

Now THAT is an awesome blog post.

What's with all the accidents though? Really bad weather? I bet the boys had a blast counting them all.

Convoy is a great driving song :)
