the great american road trip 2.0 - day 2

It is way too late to post anything. Nobody should spend 9 hours a day in the car - nobody . . . especially me. The kids and Rick were fine - I was going absolutely ballistic. Here are the highlights of day 2 (not many - because did I mention - NINE hours in the car?!)

• Left Fremont, Indiana, drove 1 mile north just to say we hit Michigan, then barreled through Ohio.

• Stopped for lunch in Pittsburg - french-fry sandwiches (yeah - they were as good as they sound) at Primanti Bros. Dessert at Fudgie Wudgie - blueberry fudge for Rico, Punk and Kooka, and a homemade peanut butter cup for me.

• The trip up and down the Monongahela Incline, was punctuated by Rico's impromptu performance of the Macarena in front of an unsuspecting priest, 3 goth teenagers, and a group of college kids. It was a bet, he couldn't explain himself, just perform. He was paid with a sliver of Kaia's fudge - which he insists, was worth every second of humiliation.

• Hours later, we pulled into DC - a quick dinner, a quick swim, and we are all in bed (finally) watching the History Channel.

• Tomorrow we are off to the spy museum - Kooka can't wait.

French fry sandwiches sound awesome. Think I'll have to try that sometime. Yum yum. Blueberry fudge? Not so much?

9 hours in the car is too much. 2 hours is about long enough for this girl's attention span.

Have a blast at the Spy Museum!
