Where is my vacation?

My potato is having a heck of a time on his vacation. He is having so much fun! (well I like to think so - I mean I sure would if I got to go to all these places) Thanks so much for those of you that have helped send him on his way. So far he has been to:

What a trip! 28 more states to go. He sure does seem to like Arizona though.

I am sure he is having a much better time than my 3.5 hours at the MVD yesterday! I could not believe it took that long. I went during my lunch hour but since my manager said for me to stay I did. The way the numbers are called is weird. They are not called in order. My ticket said Express but it sure was not Express in my book! When I finally got to the window the girl told me that she couldn't give me my new plates and that my dad needed to come in. All because the address was different on the registration and my drivers license. The name was fine - just the address. I told her that she had to be kidding, that I couldn't have just spent the last 3.5 hours waiting for her to tell me NO. I told her that when I called the MVD the day before I was told what to bring. She then changed my mailing address to my parents address (which should have been on my account anyways). Then she got me new plates. Whew! When she was putting the new stickers on the plates she put them on all sloppy and then told me to take a knife and cut across the date a few times. She said that this would keep my plates from getting stolen again. I don't know why this would deter someone from stealing the plates.

So I am happy. I have my third set of plates for my car. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I get to keep these plates longer than 3 months at a time.
