How to Entertain Yourself on an All Day Drive

Today was a long day of driving and not much else. So, as we drove and tried to stay entertained, I thought I would share with you the kinds of things that kept us busy. Here is a list of things you could also do while driving.

1. Think -- about anything because you have time
2. Converse with traveling companion
3. Switch off between driving and navigating
4. Listen to a book on tape -- Undaunted Courage about Lewis & Clark
5. Watch the changing scenery - from corn fields to forests to corn fields to forests to corn fields...plus a city or two for interest
6. Nap
7. Call Amy to check on the USC score
8. Watch for a place to stop for lunch -- there are lots of Arby's along Hwy 90
9. Have money ready to pay tolls
10. Continually check mileage driven against mileage to go
11. Play license plate game if there are enough cars on highway
12. Try to identify road kill as you speed past.

There should be more interesting things happening tomorrow as we drive through Cleveland and on to Erie, PA. Hmmm.....
