Max has heard me tell the story of the 6 week family vacation with my family the summer before I was a junior in high school. One of the MANY places my Dad took us to was 4 corners. It was a big deal and a big surprise, getting us up at the crack of dawn, packing up the camper, riding in the car with no breakfast for a while, with me asking more than once, "what are we DOING??????"Dad drives down this lonely road, the sun is just coming up, and parks the car, telling us to "c'mon kids..... go over to that round disk and stand on it." I know I'm out of patience with the whole thing by this time, and just then Dad says, "smile, you are standing in 4 states at once!"
Dad was so proud of himself. I remember thinking it was the silliest thing yet, but now, looking back, it was one of the highlights of that 6 week trip.
And now I'm doing it to Max.... except that I told him where we were going! He loved it!
