<p>You'll save yourself lots of money on hotel rooms because you'll never sleep! This is starting to sound like Chevy Chase's Summer Vacation. Who will you tie in the rockingchair on the roof of the station wagon?>></p>
<p>LOL!!! I think our dear Concerneddad himself will be the one who ends up strapped to the roof on this trip. Thanks for the chuckle. :)</p>
<p>Carolyn:
You're welcome. Glad to provide a laugh. As an aside, I was able to track down that College map- it's called "Professor Pathfinders US College & University reference map". Ironically, in the process of tracking it down, I ran across what may be a more helpful map for CD as he embarks on this crusade. Its the "Coops Roadmap guide to Microbreweries & Brewpubs". He can appoint his kids as the designated drivers and he can sit in the rocker strapped to the roof with a fresh brewskie.</p>
<p>Sounds like the advice an old lawyer friend gave me years ago when I was embarking on my first roadtrip with the kids:</p>
<p>1) Get off the road by 2:00 pm;
2) make sure the motel/hotel has a swimming pool; and
3) make sure the hotel/motel has a cocktail bar nearby!</p>
<p>Or better yet, hit the vacation resorts with the swim-up bars. Takes care of both forms of relaxation.</p>
<p>By the way, some new airfare sales popped up on Delta today, but I haven't had a chance to look into it.</p>
