Road Trip, Day 16 Driving home

WE ARE HOME!! We had a delightful drive today and now I am finally in my own bed. Jesse and I made a list of the best and worst things. It is kind of the Academy Awards (heehee) of the road trip.
1. Cheapest gas - Arkansas @ 2.34 a gallon
2. Most Construction - We had Oklahoma however, We now have a tie between Oklahoma and Wyoming
3. Best Meal - Mariscos La Playa in Albuquerque
4. Best Road - Oklahoma, toll express way through Indian country
5. Prettiest Person - The gal at the entrance to the Grand Canyon. She was like part native american, part greek, part goddess... Even Adrienne in the back of the car kept saying, "She's pretty"
6. Most Nauseating Road - Arkansas, the "roller coaster" road... oi
7. Coolest Animal Encounter - The lion cubs at the Safari in Arkansas
8. Funniest Billboard (parental advisory) - "Big Jims Booby Bigelow" exotic dancers at the border of Tennessee
9. Nicest People - Alabama (cant beat that southern hospitality)
10. Funniest town Names - Cliff Dwellers, Arizona , Nowhere, Tennessee , and Effingham, Illinois
11. Best Audio book - "Stop the Train" It is a riot! (Thanks Tracy for suggesting it!)
12. Most Family Friendly Restaurant - O' Charleys , the have FREE kids meals
13. Best Rest Area - That great place that had a big play area for the kids, Rend Lake, Illinois
