Travels &
Destinations
I’ve been reading some blog pages online (of course) about
people traveling and living on the road, some in VW buses, some in SUVs, and
some in small campers such as Airstreams, etc.
I really don’t see a lot of unhappy people living this kind of
lifestyle. Everyone seems to really
enjoy the freedom, the simplicity, and the adventure it has to offer. Many of these people even are homeschooling
their children while they live traveling on the road.
We are not really interested in traveling on any toll roads
or highways, but only the two-lane back roads that are all over this great
country of ours. When you dream about a
road trip, isn’t the small little back roads is what you think of? I know I do.
Stopping at some Mom & Pop diner for a bite to eat located down some
road where the interstate highway has long forgotten that is most likely only
patronized by locals and Shunpikers (People who avoid toll ways and turnpikes)
like ourselves. Isn’t that where the
real America is located, on some back road less traveled? Isn’t that the whole reason to take a road
trip… to explore and to have an adventure?
Isn’t that what Robert Frost was writing about in his epic poem? To be an individual, to follow your heart, to
make all the difference when traveling!
What about all of the old roadside attractions such as the
largest ball of string, or the museum of weird things, or any other kind of
kitschy and non-serious things that may catch your imagination? Yeah, I want to see that stuff, even if it is
just an excuse to get out and stretch your legs and give Snoopy a chance to do
her thing. I want to see that historical
marker that we would have never seen off of the highway, with all the hustle
and bustle of the heavy traffic. I want
to see that stuff, no matter how stupid it may be. Maybe I’ll make a collection of stupid things
we took a photo of on our road trip?
There should be ample opportunity to do so traveling all over this vast
country called America, the Beautiful!

Famous
Quotes (Previous Game)
Who
is credited for saying the following quote?
"In the
first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good
faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on
an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate
against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is
predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing
but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he
is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room
for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here,
and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty
and that is a loyalty to the American people."
Answer: Teddy Roosevelt
