Road Trip Games
Over the recent holiday break, my girlfriend and I set out on a road trip from Nashville to Kansas City to visit her family. The 9 hour drive took us through 5 states - Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas - and a 40 degree drop in temperature.
While 9 hours isn't that long, it's long enough to need a good copilot. Lucky for me, mine happened to bethe same girl who is my copilot in life, navigating the roads of love, straight to the destination of my heart my girlfriend.
Unfortunately, she was asleep for 75% of the drive.
Had she been awake, our games might have gone a little like this...
I SPY
Me: I spy with my little eye...a terrible driver next to me.
My gf: I spy with my little eye...four wrappers from fast food hamburgers you just devoured.
Me: I spy with my little eye...a road. This game is horrible.
My gf: I spy with my little eye...someone in the doghouse.

When there's a stretch of road accompanied by silence, exclaim, "More like global boring!" Then laugh and laugh and laugh. Do it again in an hour.

These games are fool proof. And you would be a fool not to use them. But you could still do them. Because that's the definition of fool proof.
So have fun on your next road trip. Play some games. Eat junk food. Be safe.

Be a Dad
- Every time you pass a farm, yell, "HAY!" Every time.
- Make the entire car listen to a Bill O'Reilly audiobook.
- Don't allow anyone to use the inside car light when it's dark outside. Or else you will immediately crash.
- Stop at a diner. And repeat the waitress' name to her after she introduces herself.
- Despite having a personal GPS device as a phone, see how far you can go without using a map.
- Never EVER no matter what stop for a break. God forbid you tack on a 5 minute bathroom break to a 10 hour drive.
