On the trip up to Rhinebeck, we were discussing cars and how souped up they are these days. How you can even get them with satellite tv’s and while this may seem like nirvana to parents on long road trips that something is lost. What about “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall”? What about all of those this-trip-is-never-going-to-end-so-let’s-stare-out-the-window-and-play-a-game games??

Have you ever played the license plate game? Well, we did!

We had a lot of laughs with this and played it both coming and going. Rules were set up – no parked cars, only vehicles with someone behind the wheel. We were all surprised by the variety of plates we saw. And something was definitely up with North Carolina —- there were tons of those cars on the road.

That’s my column there on the left hand side. I almost ran out of room I was so good at that game. ; ) There was some fierce discussion from a certain poor loser in the back seat about what value a Consulate plate should receive. I believe they are the wild card of the license plate game and should have extra points attached. I know I didn’t need to argue about it since I was so far in the lead, but it’s the point of the matter. And check out Vicki spotting another cheesehead on the road!

discuss.
