Signs from around the U.S.

We hit 10 states in 3 days and had a lot of fun. We wanted to share some of that with you. Enjoy!

Above: While we were in Tennessee we stopped to take this picture. It reminded me of an incident that had happened only moments before. Haley, Allie, and Emily were walking over a bridge when they heard a guy yelling for help. It was President Obama. He was drowning, and they rescued him. He thanked them dearly and promised them whatever they wanted as a reward. Emily wanted $10,000, so Obama gave her the money. Allie wanted a Ferrari, so Obama gave her a Ferrari. Haley wanted a wheelchair. Obama said, "Why do you want one of those young lady, you're not disabled?!" Haley replied,"I will be when my dad finds out whose life I just saved." Above: No comment.

Above: Geico is sending subliminal messages.

Above: This was right outside our Marriot hotel in Kansas City.

Above: This sign reminded me of a few jokes and I started missing my family in Alabama.

Dad, did you hear about the constipated accountant?

He couldn't budget.

Ann, did you hear about the constipated composer?

He couldn't finish the last movement.

I got on the bus in Salt Lake City after looking for work. I sat beside an old lady. After a few minutes of sitting still I couldn't control myself and I tried to get up and change seats, but I let out a big noisy fart. Embarrassed, I tried to make conversation with the lady and I asked her, "Do you, by chance, have today's paper?" The lady looked at me, obviously disgusted, and said, "No young man, but the next time we pass by a tree I'll grab you a handful of leaves!" I haven't been on the bus since.

Above: Laura and I had just been discussing Senator John Warner's interest in the idea of a national speed limit to conserve gasoline. It’s all part of his goal to have everything move as slow as congress. This scene reminded me of congress as well. Above: This sign reminded me of what happened when we fed Emily refried beans at the Mexican restaurant in Cheyenne, WY.

Above: Laura read the sign and laughed. She insisted we take a picture but I didn't turn around. She said, jokingly, "Did that just go in one ear and out the udder?"

Above: WELCOME TO UTAH!

Above: Laura did and we made it, even with the trailer attached. It was fun and the girls wanted to turn around and do it again.

Above: This is the last mountain before you enter Utah. We almost didn't make it. I had the pedal to the metal and we hit the hill at 98 mph and we ended it with the car almost overheating and us going approximately 16 mph.

Above: Welcome to Salt Lake City! To understand this you need the Urum and Thummim.

Above: I tried to steal this sign, but it was buried deeply in the ground. If I had packed a shovel, it would be hanging in my room.

Above: Not only did we avoid falling cows, we also avoided cows on tractors. I wonder who drives better, Laura or the cow?

Above: Where are the minnows?

Above: No wonder people in Utah have such funny accents.

Above: This was right outside our Marriot hotel in Kansas City. Laura and the girls slept in the car to protect it.

Above: This was a local runway in Wyoming. It was a dirt road that lead to a gas station, but come to find out, it was a runway.

Above: These are beautiful roads in Tennessee.

Above: We had to take this picture before crossing. I waited for a semi, but none came.

Above: ?

Above: Well obviously we made it.

Above: Luckily it was summer.

Above: Mom said that there would be a tunnel in Wyoming.

Above: Even signs come with small print now-a-days. We went down the hill at over 90mph. It had a runaway truck ramp.
