Day 51 #31

Today's thing is "every kid should experience a family car trip". So Kelli and I went to my hometown two hours away to experience the family car trip. In my family car trips we each got a turn to pick the CD of our choice for our turn. I usually picked NSYNC or something like that, that I knew all the words to. Anyways so Kelli and I implimented this tradition on our 'family' car trip. I chose a mixed CD that I just made that has a variety of songs and Kelli chose the soundtrack from Doing That Thing You do. We had the music playing in the back ground, but we pretty much spent the whole trip down talking. It was fun as usual.
