Day #15

"THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME"
BUT WE'RE ONLY IN KANSAS!
If we clicked our heals, closed our eyes and repeated three times,
"There's No Place Like Home"
Then we would miss the LAST TEN STATES!
AND WE AIN'T GONNA DO THAT!

Grandpa always gets to be first in line
It's The Law!
Every Stop - Every Gas Fill-up
If you get to buy treats and snacks every day.....
going on 15 days.......
Pretty soon it isn't as much fun as you thought it was going to be.
Making a decision about what to buy becomes torturous!

THE PASSENGER
The passenger has unique challenges;
one of which is what to do with yourself for 10 hours a day on the back of a motorcycle
looking at the back of a helmet
Team Members #1 and #2
Team Members #3

Sometimes you just have to.....stop.....

SO MUCH FOR PROTECTIVE
MOTORCYCLE WEAR IN THIS HEAT!
Jase is riding in shorts with sunblock.....
but he may have missed a spot or two.
NOW SERIOUSLY......
This is TOTAL bragging rights!
Side Note:
These cool hands and wrists and arms belong to Grandpa and Ben.
Jase left his gloves off for a while so he wouldn't look so weird.

GREAT PRICE $104
The girl at the front desk thought it was so cool that we were riding to all 48 states that she spoiled us and gave us this great room with the pool right outside the door.
It took Jon and Jack 30 seconds to make it to the pool after check-in.
