Song:   Laura and Colleen talking about Dan’s directions.

In and out of Wisconsin in a flash.  Sorry Wisconsin, but if we continued to drive through you in the direction we we’re going, we’d end up in Canada, and although lovely, wouldn’t  get us any credit.  We have named the GPS “Darla”.  Any traffic, bad routing, or otherwise will be her fault from here on out.  BAD DARLA!  BAD, BAD, DARLA!

Day 2, State Lines

    What’s wrong with Canada, eh?!

  2. Laura says:

    I don’t know…I think if you backtrack through a state that you’ve already been in that you should get negative points for that….

    Vernon just forwarded this to me! Really? Really? Torturing us on a road rally just wasn’t enough, eh? Glad you’ll be returning to work well rested from you vacay…btw I call her (miss tom tom) Silly Bitch.

      We changed from Darla to the male Australian voice of “Jack”. He’s really not much better but it’s nice to have a man in the car. Heading into Atlanta now. So should I send you the exact route so you and Vernon can try it later in the year?

    Ha! I think I’ve driven every route at one point in time, just never at the same time….never!
