Man cannot live on granola bars alone. Or can he?

How many of these will we need to buy? 3 weeks is 21 days times 2 of us. I'm counting at least 42. That's a conservative estimate though.

Unicorns are magical

How many new glasses will I need to buy?

I can get these as logos on pint glasses from Bend, Oregon. I'm probably going to have to start planning my souvenir buying soon. I mean, I think I'm only allowed to buy so many college t-shirts, pint glasses, and fridge magnets.

And you get a cookie...

This is our hotel in Boise. The other picture is of downtown Boise. Yeah, let's just stay here for the 3 weeks.

Bend, Oregon?

Things we will see in Bend, Oregon (according to Google images)

Boise

Who knew it was this nice?? I think I see a Applebees on the corner. Do you want to just cancel the rest of the trip and spend 21 days here?

Boulder to Boise

So here's the first leg of the driving portion of the trip...829 miles. 11 hours and 28 minutes. One bathroom stop in Utah. That's all you get. We can just find an Applebee's or Chili's for dinner when we get to Boise.

MonKEYS

How many of these are we going to need? We can get them at the Archie McPhee store in Seattle.

Mahna Mahna

There's going to be a special Jim Henson exhibit when we're out at the Experience Music Project. I'm not too sure what that has to do with music or with science fiction (there's also a science fiction museum in the building--I plan to go. I do like robots), but I enjoy a good Jim Henson exhibit. Who doesn't love the Muppets?

First Trip Mix

So I just did this facebook thing of making my life soundtrack, but I'm not posting it on facebook. I'm putting it here instead. Take that, facebook.

My Life Soundtrack

So here's how it works...open your library, put it on shuffle, press play, for the first question type the song that's playing, when you go to a new question, press the next button TWICE, don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...just type it in!
