T Day

Yesturday was a travel day for myself, Zachary, Courtney and Chelsey. We got everybody up, fed and we were out the door by 7:30 for our 4.5 hour trip back home to Watertown NY.

We bought a Garmin GPS navigation thingy for the car a few months ago since we seem to be always on the road and being new to this area...well, it's more than paid for itself I can testify to that.

One strange thing is that it is set to give you the fastest route so as we leave here in Watsontown PA it tells us to go one way which is about an hour due north to 220, 17 and then catch I81 at Binhamton. You would think that it would take you back the same way but it doesn't for some reason. Comming back about 10 miles outside of Binhamton it tells you that it has found a better route and would you like to use it. It does save about 15 minutes and takes you down I81 to I80 and so on.

It also has you taking the PA Turnpike around Scranton. I figured it was taking us west of Scranton and connection to another road. Nope, just bypassing Scranton to get back onto I81 which I don't think saved us much time if any. Now if you go off course the little voice will let you know that it is "recalculating" and will remap the route for you.

We call her Judith and Zack says she gets "pissed off" too easily. I laugh and told Zack that I don't think he is old enough to use that word yet but he was right...Judith gets pissed off. You can alost hear the sigh of frustration in her voice when she says "recalculating" over and over in your trip.

We left here at 7:30 and arrived about 12:15 and was back on the highway after hitting MIcky D's at 12:45. The price of gas up there at 2.94 is almost .25 more expensive than it is here in town and the weather was a bit on the cooler side.

Hearing all three kids singing to Linkin Park along the way....


Now that's PRICELESS
