Well, I think my family wins the spontaneous award this year.
My dad, my mom, me, and my younger sisters just drove to Illinois and back.
"Why?" you ask.
Just because we can.
When we started out, we didn't plan on a place or anything. The rule was, "Either drive until six PM and then turn around, or if we see someplace that looks interesting, we'll stop and spend the night". And then we just went.
Well, at six PM, we were in Illinois and had just learned something quite interesting: there is absolutely NOTHING west of Indianapolis. No houses, no towns, nothing. Just land, land, and more land. So, we never did see anything interesting. So we turned around. We ate dinner in Indiana, though. And we got home at 11:30 something.
I listened to my iPod the entire way there and back. I got through 130 something songs out of my 915.
In all, the trip took around ten hours and fifteen minutes. XD
