And we were so proud at her graduation just a few years ago!

…and you wonder where i get it

Because I have been saying hi to ask for your votes via video, Mom wanted to say hi too. Sure enough as we usually stay unscripted- here she is, laughing away at herself:

So mother like daughter? Yeah, we can definitely entertain ourselves. We always joke about how much fun we can have doing nothing.

help us climb…

…all over some of America’s signs! Oh how fun it’s been to look through travel photo albums. Check out a few places Team Blue Lollipop Road has been:

Diane Peacock at Colorado state line

Ann, Diane and Erin Peacock at Grand Canyon

what about you?

Are you getting inspired to travel? We hope so! Here’s a little thought for this Wednesday afternoon:

It’s not all about us! Do you know how much free, cheap and fun stuff is out there for the finding? Travel doesn’t have to be pricey or fancy, it’s all about sharing a laugh, a treat, and some time out with someone you love- or learning something new from someone new.

meet joe and debbie

They were good sports (no pun intended!)- at Wrigley Field yesterday. They happily agreed when I asked them to be on video. Joe was trying to channel some Harry Caray. Hilarious! And the chick in the background who pops her head in to make a face? Gotta love it. People hamming it up everywhere!

we are your team…

…for the Rand McNally/USA TODAY Best of the Road rally 2012!

Why?

Because we can finish a Ben & Jerry’s Vermonster no problem!

Talk about being able to hang!

Welcome to the world of the Peacock’s. Sure, Mom and I had some help on this giant bucket o’ goodness, but we are not afraid and we like a good challenge! We finished:

the real deal

It’s been about 10 days since the good madness began for Team Blue Lollipop Road soliciting votes in hopes to be chosen for the Rand McNally/USA TODAY Best of the Road 2012. I have worked my tail off already and can barely sleep at night because I want so badly to go on this trip with my Mom. The anticipation and excitement of it all (and we are not even on the trip yet!)- is the energy I live for. I love it. I love “meeting” new travelers on social media, I love watching the videos from last years competitors, I love reading about small towns I have never been to and daydreaming about going to to them.

reason #787

To VOTE FOR TEAM BLUE LOLLIPOP ROAD for the Rand McNally/USA TODAY Best of the Road rally 2012!

A special thanks to our Friday lunch waiter Joel for being a sport about this! Talk about jump right in when a stranger asks “Do you want to be in a video?”

What a cutie he was and super fun.
