Next week is Thanksgiving break, and for those of us who attend fancy private Ivy schools, we get the ENTIRE WEEK OFF. This is a new thing for me, and if I had money I would definitely have flown somewhere. Probably home, but you never know.
Anyway, money is tight, so no flying. Today I was going to get in my little car and drive in a random direction, like I did in August when I found that beach in Rhode Island. But it rained, and I slept in, and I ended up not driving anywhere. So. Since I'm not going anywhere for Thanksgiving break, I've come up with a brilliant idea.
I will pack up the tent I still have, and about a million blankets and pillows, and I'll put sandwhichy things into the cooler, and pack everything into said little car, and I'll strike out in a random direction on Saturday. And I'll have a multi-day driving adventure, in which I will probably get horribly lost and will end up somewhere terribly boring.
Of course, by random direction I mean I think I'll head north this time. It would be neat if I could have a list of cool things I might want to stop by and see, if my random driving gets boring and I want some directed driving. Do you recommend anything? Anything in Vermont or Massachussetts or upstate New York, or any of the other New Englandy states? Or should I strike out south and check out Maryland and all that nonsense? I'm pretty easily distracted, so any sort of thing is of possible interest. Including things like corn palaces and giant balls of twine. Do they have that sort of absurdity on the east coast?
I'm also in the process of attempting to convince a friend to come along, but my hopes are not high that that will work out.
