This week’s assignment from the League: Road trip!

pop culture road trip

I spent last week unplugged, enjoying fishing, boating, and swimming at the lake, and it got me thinking about where we should go for next year’s vacation. Here’s the topic for this week’s League challenge…

—

Summer’s coming to a close but there’s still time for one more vacation. Plot out the ultimate pop culture road trip.

Once you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Next Monday, I will put up a post here on Cool & Collected with a list of all the contributing blogs. Once that list is posted, if you haven’t already done so, try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote on your site.

By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!

 

(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for joining The League.)

    Oh man, I really want to get in on this one, but I’m literally heading out for an actual road trip right now, and my blog is taking a break until next week. Great theme, though, and I can’t wait to see everyone’s posts!

        I love that you just made that reference, Shawn. Both a William Zabka and a Vacation reference. You are the masta.
