With no idea where we are headed the kids have only the symbols on their map, and a single clue to let them know where we are headed next. After each clue, they get 3 guesses between them to figure out their next destination. Punk prefers not to guess - he's rather have it be a surprise, but Miss Tenacious, cannot stand not not knowing.
Using the clue "Someplace you've always hoped to explore, you'll see creatures and crystals and possibly more." She guesses that we are headed to the cave symbol. Crystal Cave - 7 stories under the surface of the Earth. Both kids are elated. Especially Punk, who has wanted to explore a cave, ever since he met the seven dwarfs.
Punk is loving hs new camera. Especially when it allowed him to get a shot of the bats who started swooping in the cave. (You can imagne how much mom loved this leg of the trip - but at least I didn't scream like the other wussy lady).
After traveling through the cave the kids clambered back into the gift shop - a stuffed T-rex for Punk, a mood ring for Kooka. After strapping themselves into their carseats, they got their next clue - and again, it was Kooka who solved the mystery. She figured out we were heading for the lion symbol, but it was Punk who decoded that we were headed to Appleton to see Broadway's Lion King. You should have heard the screams! My ears still hurt.
The show is tomorrow night. For now, we are spending this leg of our adventure in this hotel (photo by Punk) - which looked a lot less dumpy in the Travelocity photo.

You guys have THE coolest parents ever! How fun to be off on such an adventure. I think I would have screamed like the woosie lady when I saw a bat. The look on Punk's face appears to be pure joy.
The Lion King will be a blast. Hopefully your mom's ears will have healed enough from the screams so she can enjoy the show. Can't wait to hear what's next on your adventure!
Sounds like an awesome trip, am enjoying the postings, keep it up,
and angle on toward texas.
love you all
