This week I embarked on a little jaunt from Chicago back to NYC via Volkswagen. I love road trips and it doesn't take much to get me to agree to a long drive with a loved one. Bonus points for trips to Cracker Barrel. We lucked out with great music, clear skies and even clearer roads. I had my first deep dish pizza at Gino's East, found out what they mean by the windy city, and I also rediscovered a favorite car game, which is saying something since I have a lot of 'em in my repertoire. It is called "sprocket" and works a little like "I spy."
{You find something that could be repeating (i.e. green signs, big rigs, bridges etc..) and then you keep it to yourself, saying "sprocket" every time you pass one in the car, and the other person has to guess. Fun for all ages!}
