Did you know Indiana has wineries?
I KNOW, we didn't either, we went to one and look how surprised we are! There are actually 7 and if you go to all of them you get a commemorative wine glass. (We're not doing that so if you are getting excited about the possibility of really cool souveniers you can forget it...)
We have been having some lovely family time (and lots of ice cream - that's one thing that doesn't last in a cooler so its an extra-special treat).
Here is a bit of wisdom we've gained in the past week...
If you are alone at someone else's house and they have a crazy tiny dog who always tries to run out the door - don't assume that it will be any different when you open the door.
If and when the dog goes bolting toward the busy road where drivers are doing more than 50, assume you will be chasing it for at least 20 minutes.
If you realize that you really should drive the car because who knows how many hours you're going to spend looking for the dog in the sprawling neighborhoods, be ABSOLUTELY certain the back hatch is latched before you peel onto the road (where drivers are doing more than 50) and the hatch flies open, letting many of your belongings spill onto the asphalt.
Finally, once you've had this experience and gained this important wisdom - do NOT let it happen again 2 days later with different dogs.

Ok, in all seriousness...
Let me tell you about the awesomeness of today, no funny business:
1) Great visit with Kate in Atlanta.
2) She gets us on the road with delicious cups of coffee.
3) Stellar oldies station as we drive north out of Atlanta. (I get to sing along with Paul Simon, Aretha, the Temps, that guy who sings "Brandy)
4) We've heard about a Daylight Savings Time special Arby's is doing TODAY only and get free sandwiches, gasoline and bathrooms all in one stop!
5) First Spanish lesson! We've downloaded "Learning Spanish Like Crazy" - awesome, right? No, no hablo espanol. Si, yo camino todos los dias.
6) New playlist on the mp3 thing so we can sing songs like Hotel Yorba and Jailbreak at the top of our lungs.
7) Only $1.62 for gas!
8) Begin our one-act play created with the basis that all proper nouns are named after road signs we've seen along the way.
9) Russell Stover outlet!!! My absolute favorite brand of chocolate! We saw an outlet store a couple days ago and I was so bummed we didn't stop, so today - we stopped!

Things We've Learned...
Things We’ve Learned on our Vacation from Being Homeless…
Imagine that your car starts shaking violently as you drive down the expressway…Pull over and have your travel companions take a look. Sure, it’s great that you’ve been checking the tire pressure along the way, but you also should have been monitoring the SURFACE of the tires as well. If they have become so bald that the metal cord is visible, you need new ones…and you should have noticed a long time ago.
If the nice old gentleman who has been hired to bark for an All-You-Can-Eat-Buffet on Duval Street invites you to take a look at the buffet before you commit to it, by all means, take him up on his offer. If you look at the buffet and your first response is: “wow, this looks disgusting,” you shouldn’t eat there.
When signing up to take a boat ride in search of wild dolphins, the most important issue is not whether or not you will actually get to see dolphins, but rather: will the captain of the ship screech at the top of her lungs (in an attempt to mimic the sound a dolphin makes???) every single time a dolphin breeches the surface?
The buskers who work in Mallory Square are intensely desperate people. They will chase you down and yell at the top of their lungs until you fork over a couple bucks. (They will also yell if you don’t stand close enough to their circle, if you stand too close, if you don’t cheer loud enough or if you cheer at the wrong time…)
If you DO decide to eat at aforementioned buffet (even though it costs $22) and you opt to sit outside because the inside of the restaurant stinks, you’ve made a huge mistake.

Say you are videotaping the sights and sounds of Mallory Square, not focusing on one particular act or performer. Your friends have all wandered off so you are just a guy-by-yourself-taping. You would expect the crazy busker who really only has 2 tricks to choose YOU to be his volunteer for the entire 20 minute show, right? (That's Andy doing the push-ups.)
