Road Trip to Electric City - The Drive Home

On the road again

For the drive home, Andrew and I made Mom sit in the back seat. We convinced her to at least try it. Once there, she discovered the true glories of being a back seat driver. That is to say, she went to sleep. She won't admit it but she loved it back there. We built an awesome nest for her out of all the pillows and coats. Andrew drove and I navigated. I consulted Uncle Keith before we left and plotted a rout on a map. I chose back roads which gave us pretty views and a quieter ride. A mistake in my navigating lead us to a very picturesque gravel road with a lovely view of a vineyard. Mom started doubting our route a that point, but Andrew's phone got us back on pavement. The landscape slowly changed and I took a lot of pictures of barns and a couple pictures of Mom being adorable.

Mom - "Does my hair look funny?"

My navigation appears to have lead us astray.

Don't worry, Mom, this was just a little detour to show you this vineyard.

See look how pretty.

What's the difference between a windmill and a wind turbine?
