Job Fair/Road Trip

After a rocky start at the Hertz counter at CVG, we hopped in the rental car headed towards Minneapolis, Minnesota. According to GoogleMaps, it was going to take us about 11 hours to get there. It helped me mentally to break the trip up into segments that were easy to manage.

Cincinnati to Indianapolis
Indianapolis to Chicago
Chicago to Minneapolis

It looked so easy on paper to drive this trip even with all the bathroom and lunch breaks. It was going to fun and an adventure for all (or so I hoped). 

The first segment:

This is the road that never ends,

It goes on and on my friends....

Yes, a simple 90 minute ride can prove to be too much for me. Ask anyone that has sat with me during a meeting with a scarf. 

The second segment:

Things that really happened or was said during the trip.

1. I am tired of Pearl Jam. (wrong you can never get tired of Pearl Jam!)

2. Comparison of Alanis Morissette's song "You oughta know" with Adele's "Someone like you." 

3. Bah-sten accents all around for 10 miles!

4. Just take a nap already! 

5. OMG! Its a wind farm! Slow down so I can take a picture of all the turbines!

6. I'm that baby's pappy!

7. Is that a pig farm or chicken farm?

8. Its a 90's party up in the hizzouse (?)

9. That University of St. Francis has one heck of a basketball team!

10. If you fart, crack a window!

11. Followed by... ewwww! It smells like fried chicken in here!

12. Gary, Indiana, my home sweeeet hooooome!

13. Oh yeah, time change! We lost an hour. Where's the hour? I want it back!

14. 8 miles to the state line baby! 

15. Welcome to Illinois!

16. Are you Illonoid yet? LOL
