Planning a trip
I am going to North Dakota this summer.
I am going to make this the BEST VACATION EVER.
So, it is going to go down like this:
Day 1: Kent to Missoula
Day 2: Missoula to Miles City
Day 3: Miles City to Medora
Day 4: Medora to Mchenry
Days 5 - 9: Have fun
Then there will be a reversal of paths, perhaps...
May need to tweak things a bit to make it through the badlands, gotta hit the Enchanted Highway, etc... These things are not ON THE WAY but are quite necessary for my plan to work.Ok, so check this out...
We will avoid all chain fast food restaurants, even though they are real easy, eh...
I will need to go to the O'Berto outlet and get a back of meat product for the drive. Couple pounds should do it.
Need to get a portable DVD player for the kids in the back... OK, so I know I said that one of the benefits to getting a laptop would be that the girls could watch movies on it while we are busting down the road, but baby, really, I don't think this will work, I am sorry. See, with my seat back further than yours the laptop will be cocked (heh) towards the right, so the child on the left will have issues seeing it. Plus, the laptop is a bit too big... It will not hang correctly from the seats. Plus, and this is a good reason, if the kids get all bugged out and start flayling about they could harm my poor laptop... plus it will give you something to do while we are busting down the road... You will be able to pull up maps that I have saved, play games, write things... the possibilities are endless... And to this end, I have found a fantastic DVD player at Target for not too much money... So how about it, baby... I will make it worth your while...
Back to supplies...
Cold beverages... Can't be drinking pop the whole way, need something better than that... more than water but less than Sparks.
Shoot, there is so much... this will just be a start...
So, we will stay at the Motel 6 in Missoula, or Super8... Same price, Super8 has free wireless internet access... hmmnn... In Miles City we will stay at the Motel 6, and it will cost $30 less than in Missoula.
Miles City looks like the coolest place in MT. Damn, we are going to miss the bucking horse sale, though.
Dude, so next day we will be in Medora, to see a show in this big ass amphitheater. Some sort of chinese acrobats and some comedian dude will be there... Uh, I am not so sure about that, but the mother in law is way excited... The acts, well, I am going to just cut and paste directly from their site:
The Medora Musical offers:
• A mix of country western, gospel and patriotic music
• A talented cast of singers and dancers from across the US
• A live band on stage
• Nationally known variety acts
• Wholesome, family friendly entertainment
• Historic, patriotic themes dedicated to Theodore Roosevelt
• Live horses on stage
• Modern conveniences for your comfort
Then on to Mchenry.
Expectations are that it will be HOT. There will be Ticks. We will ride the train around the loop. We will maybe go to the casino and eat at the buffet. Maybe go to some other tiny little town that is an hour away, eat, and drive back. I am hoping, for real this time, that there will be something similar to the Steam Threshers Reunion that I didn't go to last time going on. Those things are off the hook. Got the killerest shirt from there. Gotta be something like that going on. Otherwise we will hang out with the family...
Next time I build up 2 weeks worth of vacation, though, hopefully it will be used for Mexico. Although I love my in-laws, and especially love my wife (she's yummy), and can't say no to a road trip, going to ND in the middle of summer was not on my to-do list, if you know what I mean. It's better than a kick in the balls, for sure...
Irregardless, I am going to make the most of this, get into some shenanigans... I have never gotten any nookie in ND... gotta do something about that. Come to think of it, should do something about that in MT. Dude, SD on the way back... DUDE!!! along the enchanted Highway.
Wanna have some whiskey in one of the cowboy towns we are going to hit, out of a dirty glass.
Soo much to do, let me think about this for a while...
In the meantime, here is Miles City...
