Two packages arrived this summer. One made me want to pack up my bags and take a road trip. The other made me want to eat slices of cherry pies, dance with a little person, and talk backwards.

My Santa gave me a copy of Atlas Obscura, a guide to some of the most weirdest and surrealist places on the Earth. I use their site all the time to plot my own road trips across the United States. I'm really excited to open it up and start plotting another trip! Thanks for the book!

I also got a Twin Peaks screen print. I haven't watched the new season yet but I need to make a return trip back to see the peaks! I actually took a trip out to Twin Peaks and ate some cherry pie in the Double R Diner. Thanks for the screen print!

On top of everything, Santa gave me a road trip guide to some of the more unique places in Michigan. As someone who loves roadside attractions, it's really appreciated. I've traveled through Michigan before but there's always places I've missed that I need to check out. I really did have a Hell of a time in Michigan... actually, really just in Hell, Michigan!

Thanks Santa for all these wonderful gifts!
