The photos from today’s blog come from the folder 05-09-08.
These pictures were taken during what historians have called THE BIG JESUS ROAD TRIP. It is hard to believe that 10 years have passed since THE BIG JESUS ROAD TRIP, but they have.
Jesse and I embarked on THE BIG JESUS ROAD TRIP with a destination in mind (Big Jesus) and a few stops in mind to make along the way. We wanted to see the place where “The Music Died”. We wanted to see the World’s Largest Cheeto. We wanted to stop at Bob’s Drive-Inn and try a Bob’s Dog. Anything else we experienced on the trip was gravy. Delicious gravy. The type you put in a gravy pitcher during Thanksgiving.
Mmmmmm…. gravy!
The World’s Largest Cheeto did not disappoint. Neither did Big Jesus or the Bob’s Dog. The Pocahontas statue… yeah. That is one ugly statue.
Sometime this year I hope to make a trip to see the world’s largest popcorn ball. Who is game?
By adding THE BIG JESUS ROAD TRIP photos to the Photography 139 Photo Gallery, I was able to restore the following historical “An Artist’s Notebook” post to its original glory:

Next Saturday’s trip down memory lane will involve a trip to visit the Cardiff Giant and his giant phallus. Jason Baier will be joining us!
Is there any way you could indicate where each photo was taken….especially if there is no indication within the photo of where the dickens you were? I know you have a lot of free time. Hugs, Aunt Linda
I can when I have that elusive free time…
In the meantime, I suggest you checkout the original blog from 2008:

I added an avatar for you. It is the first picture of you I found. In case you wonder why you got a weird email from my website calling you a user!
One of the best days ever. I always say this, but I mean it. Tonight I realize is as much as ever. It’s time for a day trip and the road trip to Phoenix is happening. Thanks for reminding me of what is and isn’t going to matter at the end of our days.
We need to get both on the calendar soon. Especially cause I bet your nephew is getting anxious for that car.
I have a few ideas for some day trip destinations.
