My little sister married my husband's younger brother. Our family tree is an aspen stand...a bunch of trunks all with one large shared root system. It makes life fun and interesting. They live in Mississippi and so we decided it was high time that we go out and visit them. We started looking up places we wanted to see on our drive out there and came up with food ideas, but we had a hard time remembering them all. Enter Pinterest. I don't know why I didn't think of Pinterest from the beginning. We made a "
Road Trip" board to pin all the ideas we were finding. We pinned places we wanted to see, in the car food ideas, pins to help me not pack my entire closet, and warm camping tips. After we had our big page of ideas we went through and were able to plan a route that got us to our siblings house in good time while still allowing us to see as many of the things on our Pinterest board as we could. As we narrowed the list down to what we'd actually be able to do we deleted pins from the board so that it would be easy to browse through and find what we were looking for. This made our trip planning so much easier and more efficient! We ended up being able to see a lot of what we had on our board, plus all the fun little things that you just happen on along the way. You really can use Pinterest for so much more than crafts and food!
And because a post just isn't the same without pictures...here are some shots from our trip:
