GPS fun

I found a new use for our GPS. On our way to dinner last night Maddie fell asleep. Riley said he didn't want to go to the Burger King playland by himself and we decided to get some pizza. I called in the order and they said it'd be ready in 25 minutes.

Hmmm.... It wasn't going to take me that long to get there, more like 10 minutes, maybe 12. "DING!" An idea!

I looked up Pizza Caboose on our GPS and set that as our destination. It gave me a route and said we'd get there at 5:25pm. WAY too early, had to be 5:40pm. SO, I started taking side roads letting the GPS recalculate our route AND arrival time.

That was fun and cool! The GPS not only helps me find where I'm going but now I can use it to help me not get to a place too early - or too late!
