London is one of the most interesting cities i ever spent time in. The mix of history and new was always amazing. I spent time with a customer, walked out of the modern building, and there right by the building was a piece of the Roman Wall of London!
my grandmother introduced me to Jeopardy. In fact, she thumped me when we played until i was 13 years old. She was amazing and often ran entire categories. I had to work really hard to win!
So without adieu one of my favorite Wierd Al Yankovic Songs – “I lost on Jeopardy!!!!”

We decided that burning a tank of gas (in the big van) was more expensive than we were willing to do. Gas prices went from 1.55 cents per gallon to more than 2 dollars per gallon. But, we got lucky. The local Chrysler dealer was also the largest used car dealer in the area and they wanted big conversion vans. So we were able to get a new Mini-Van.
I really enjoyed the heated seats. The only thing the kids noticed was a TV screen in both back seats. Actual live broadcast television, That was the last time we heard “are we there yet.”
Now we heard “five more minutes.” after we arrived!

I used to ask that question a lot as a kid. We were always traveling, somewhere in the car. He fixed me of asking that question and handed me the map. Showed me how to read mile markers, addresses etc. I learned a lot that way.
my grandfather used to have me navigate, if we were late we didn’t stop at a nice place for lunch (we would eat in the car to make up time)
so I learned to find the fastest way!
lol, I wouldve loved that man!
yeah, fast food was usually A&W he figured out that I loved A&W so we went to other fast food places after that
I miss those. I want a root beer in that frosty mug. You should be lucky that he didnt have a cold cut sandwich in a cooler for you. Thats what we did a lot.
my grandfather loved eating out, there was no chance of that. And his company always paid for lunch!

Dustin always asked, like most other children as well. Good memories.
i remember those days. they are bittersweet in that they are now long gone.
I haven’t visited London yet. Thank you so much for the wonderful trip.
i love london but the time-lapse was amazing!
Wow, London looks fantastic in this video. Great videography!
it was really cool. glad you liked it!
Have you ever seen the movie ‘Are you there yet?’ I hope you all are well dear brother.
all are well (I hope all are well on your side!) i haven’t seen that movie. is it good?
Yes the movie is a great one
i will see if it is on Netflix and watch it!
Oh my goodness. I went on a business trip with my coworkers. We drove through Florida and there were billboards that said “Adult” and “Children” with what to say. The driver was our supervisor and the rest of us in the van were children. Many times we read “Are we there yet?”
Thanks for reminding me about those 12 long days in a van.
i would never answer the question are we there yet with a straight answer. After awhile they started asking my wife.
she would say “you’ll have to ask your father!”
