Things Mom and I learned on our 1,864 mile road trip...

1. There are a lot of cows in Oklahoma and Texas.  A lot.

2. They grow their bugs big out West.

3. Apparently, Nashville has missed the boat on donuts.  We passed MANY donut shops between St. Louis and Albuquerque.  In several instances, we passed 3-4 in as many miles.

4. Want a foam cooler at Wal-Mart?  Don't look in the cooler aisle, silly.  Look up front by the registers, next to Customer Service!  That's where everyone keeps their coolers!

5. Driving a full size sedan for 10 days has further solidified my decision to drive a sports car.

6. Just because you see a billboard (or two or three) for Stuckey's, doesn't mean it's actually open.  As Mom points out, that is considered a form of torture.

7. Drying your hair with a hotel hair dryer is like drying your hair with a paper fan.

8. All hotels/motels must have an agreement to put plugs in the most awkward places possible. 

9. Our trip out West was priceless, and we'd do it again in a heartbeat! :)
