A Photo An Hour …

eighty

On the last day of our drive home I decided I needed something to distract me and make time go faster. I got my camera out, put it on the floor by my feet, and every hour, on the hour, I snapped a photo of something in or outside of the car. Here are twelve photos from twelve hours of driving.

1. (Above) I love a seventy-five mile-per-hour speed limit. Don’t you?

2. Six birds on a wire . . . one for each person in my family.

3. Water Tower Love. Big C took a picture of EVERY SINGLE water tower from Utah to Virginia. Weirdo.

It's so good that you all can do many things on the car and don't get dizzy... I'm impressed! Whenever I focus too much into something, like reading... I get dizzy... :(

Love the birds picture!

Looking forward to hear more about the rest of the trip. In how many days did you do the trip back home?

hahaha I googled to convert 75mph into kph... and now I just saw that there's already the equivalent under the scale of mph... hahaha silly me!

Also, I think I will never be able to convert mph into kpm or F to Celsius without help of a converter... hahaha

What a good idea, I enjoyed 11 of the photos on your 12 hour drive. I confess, not wild about the Lee guy bottom shot.

Poor Owlet, that last day was rough on him and I suppose on all the rest of you.

Love this idea! And I cackled right out loud at your emergency (I totally would have taken a picture, too. Sorry, Queen!)

Books on CD maintain our travel sanity as well.
Road side potty stops are gross, but necessary.
All the details of your travel world are captivating!
