American prices

The milk at Walmart is 1.99 a gallon.
Gas is right around 3.00 a gallon, give or take a few cents.
Sweetened Condensed milk is 1.17 (!!!!)
Oh yes, and you can eat Chicken Fajitas, 1/2 rack of ribs, and endless chips and Salsa at Chili's for 20 bucks!!!!

Part 2

Games we are playing so far:
- Count (100) American flags - we are in the 60's somewhere - you have to be under 15 to remember these things. Anika is getting great at spotting (existing and nonexisting) flags.

- Gum tasting - we are taking turns choosing gum at gas stations, trying to find the weirdest flavors we can. Today we tasted Extra Key Lime Pie...

-Rate that Restroom - 4 girls have to go to the bathroom...a lot...and we have been giving our stops a rating of 1 to 5 stars. We deduct points for cold seats, not enough stalls, dirt...and Shaina deducts points for ugly paint or bad flooring choice. Somehow a bad star rating reflects badly on the driver, for (his) choice of stops, so today Scott even drove right on through a station where he thought he (I mean the bathroom), would get a bad rating!!

Also, did I mention that we are pulling Scott's work trailer? It is full of toys - the girls bikes, scooters, rollerblades, a couple of suitcases, and - oh yes, Scott's motorbike! Anyway, I drove for about an hour and a half today - the first time I have EVER pulled a trailer!

"2 1/2 states down!"

Feb. 27
Well, we have 2 full day of driving under our belts, the kids are all still alive, Scott and I are still speaking to each other...
Actually we had a great 2 days!! Yesterday we got as far as Great Falls, Montana, and had supper at Fudruckers - my favourite!! We had time to swim in the pool twice!
Today we pulled in to Salt Lake City, and the kids are ready to swimmmmm - gotta go!!
