The mother of all roadtrips
I am very excited to introduce you to the Pringles.
No, not the chips.
The family.
A very cool family. Tom, Stacia, Emma Kelly and Gillian.
Stacia and I used to do the journalism thing together (and Stacia is one of the best writers I’ve run into in this biz) and now she’s got an even bigger job: stay at home mom.
And adventurer.
Tom’s always wanted a land-cruiser to take the family on roadtrips. A boat, like the Ford Galaxy 500 my parents cruised the country with in the ‘70s.
He found a limo for sale on EBay.
They bought it for $3,400.
Sight-unseen.
They leave this week for Buffalo, N.Y., the whole damn family with one-way tickets, to drive the limo – it with television and a wet bar – back to California.
“We’ve got three weeks,” she told me. “We’re going to see the country.”
I told her that she must blog. Nearly begged her to do so.
I got an email on Friday:
“Welcome to the Pringle Family Limo Blog Site!” she wrote.
“Seriously, take lots of photos,” I said. “This is going to be so cool.”
They’re even stopping at a few places in Nebraska – the Museum of the Prairie Pioneer high on their list – so I can get all misty-eyed for my youth.
You’ll enjoy her writing. You’ll enjoy the mayhem.
You’ll enjoy the ride.
