our journey was such fun for whimsical wednesday. we played the license plate game. our trip took about six hours and we drove across large chunks of three states. we were very surprised at the results of our diligent effort. during the drive from the midwest to the south we saw license plates from 27 different states!
illinois, wisconsin, minnesota, indiana, maine, new york, california, washington, pennsylvania, texas, south carolina, north carolina, florida, tennessee, ohio, kentucky, missouri, michigan, georgia, kansas, oklahoma, mississippi, nebraska, askansas, colorado, montana and north dakota.
wow! we did not anticipate getting so many. maybe the holiday season is a good time to play the license plate game.
while we were at it, the grandchildren were given the challenge by their dad to come up with the names of all 50 states and they could use the license plate sightings as part of that process. and they had to complete the list before reaching our destination. the adults in the car could not give clues. they managed to come up with all 50 with two hours to spare! on the way home we are going to undertake the challenge of pairing capitols with the states.
