(26,262 posts)Two east to west and two north to south. He was in education and thought it VERY important for us to see our own country, first, before we ventured off on our own. I have to say I really appreciate that, now.
We camped through tornados, floods, cattle stampedes and even a grizzly bear alert. One morning, in Montana, we awoke to frozen water. He said if we could get the camper ready to go, in 20 minutes, he'd take us to a restaurant for breakfast. We were ready to go in 10. He took us to a truck stop restaurant. I had blueberry pancakes.
I have great memories of staying up with Dad while he drove all night through the desert because the car had started heating up in the daytime scorching heat. Everyone else was asleep. I kept him supplied with coffee and conversation. He pointed out the star constellations to me.
Thank you for pointing my memories in such a wonderful direction, this morning.
