So what do I have to offer? Well, I'm glad you asked!
First off, my state is....MY ACTUAL STATE! Exhibit A:

I want to give away one of the Body Finder books by Kimberly Derting since they're set in Washington state (really close to a place where Husband's family lives, so that's interesting) Derting actually lives in WA too, so it's like a double whammy! I figure just in case you own some, but not all of them I'll leave the choice open to you as to which one you pick upon winning :]
As a second prize, I'll be giving away a preorder of Velveteen by Daniel Marks since he lives in Washington. In fact, he lives just about an hour away from. Cool, right?
The first person I draw gets their pick of prizes and the second gets what's leftover :]
a Rafflecopter giveaway
The worst road trip I've taken turned out to be a disaster when the trip coincided with a tornado warning, so the bus had to take a detour somewhere else to avoid the tornado warning. Afterwards, the the trip was cancelled due to damages that happened to the tour sites.
ReplyDeleteRoad trip staples--beef jerky and vanilla coke!!
ReplyDeleteI went on a road trip my senior year of high school from WI to FL. There were 6 of us girls crammed in a minivan with all of our luggage. It was terrible! I don't know what we were thinking. We were all ready to kill each other by the end.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was 7 or 8 I did a road trip with my aunt, uncle, and cousin from my house in Northern California, to Disneyland, then back up to their house in Washington. I got addicted to mango Snapple. LoL
ReplyDeleteI'd love to take a roadtrip around the US to visit as many Starbucks as possible.
Road Trip Staples: Diet Coke, Munchies, & Twizzlers.
ReplyDeleteDream Road Trip is a road trip all around the New England states. :D
ReplyDeleteI've actually never been on a road trip, but I hope to soon! They sound like so much fun! :D
ReplyDeleteI went on a road trip to Red Rock amphitheater in Colorado. It's just stunning. So beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI have a dream that one day my BFF and I will one day take a road trip to California but in between visit all that dorky places like Worlds Biggest ball of yarn :D
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I LOVE the idea of this giveaway tour! AND it helped me find another book blogger from Wyoming, and I can't tell you how happy that makes me as I miss my homestate every single day so so much. I'm kind of just waiting for the man to die off so that I can move back...
ReplyDeleteI love road trips! This is going to sound weird, but I really like driving long distances by myself best. I love popping in an audiobook, having some Code Red and Necco wafers, and chewing sunflower seeds until my mouth's numb. Sure, I suppose other people along can be okay, but really? Give me 14 hours in a car by myself and I'm perfectly happy (yes, I actually seriously considered becoming a trucker).
I haven't really taken many long trips, except when going to see my fiance' in Spokane. And, none of those turned out bad. My real staple for a long trip is a stack of books to read along the way.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the reason I was so drawn to the WA state stop/giveaway is because my fiance' lives in Spokane. LOL.... Spo-Can....You can imagine how many of us Southerners still say Spo-Cane. Took him awhile to get him to get me to remember the proper pronunciation of the city. Took him around 7 years to convince me to come actually visit Spokane, and see it for myself. And, it was beautiful. I fell in love with it on my first visit. I wish I could be back up there with him. But, I live in Alabama, which is a 2650 mile bus trip. And, it will be awhile.
I've only gone on a few road trips, but they weren't very much fun since we drove straight through during the night. :P My dream is to have a road trip from Texas to California, and have multiple stops along the way. I would love to do that!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway. <3
Whenever I go on really long car rides I have to have a few good books, my iPod, a comfy pillow, and a blanket. Ooo and some yummy snacks. Thanks for the giveaway! :D
ReplyDeleteGreat road trip: down the NW coast, lighthouse hopping with my family. We went from Cape Disappintment down to Crescent City, CA (lovely lighthouse there!). It was so much fun!
ReplyDeleteMy terrible roadtrip would be that time that everyone gets sick on the road just because it was bad timing. BAD BAD roadtrip lol
ReplyDeleteGreat road trip memories: my husband and I road trip from Iowa to New Hampshire at least once a year to visit his family. It's always a straight-through drive, which takes about 20 hours, but it's always a good time with good rock music & lots of coffee and junk food. :) Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm dating a guy right now and I just want to travel everywhere with him!!! Never felt that way before :)
ReplyDeleteI think a dream road trip would be hitting EVERY SINGLE STATE. But that would be one heck of a road trip maybe one day hmm?
ReplyDeleteI love road trips! I took my first road trip when I was 18 with my BFF. We went a few states over to visit a friend for a week and we had so much fun I wish we could do it all again :)
ReplyDeleteAll my road trips have been pretty fun. My favorite one was probably with my church when we went to West Virginia.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
Once we were driving from California to the grand canyon, and then in the middle of no where there was a HUGE accident, so in the middle of the night we had to wait for 3 hours for everything the clear :( Thanks for the great giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite road trip was to Disneyland (from Washington!!!! Yup, born and raised, and still from there) when I was in first grade. Or maybe it was to California with just my Dad when I was in high school. Or maybe one of the trips I've made with my own kids to visit my parents and the beach.... Too difficult to pick just one..
ReplyDeleteA few years back I had a great roadtrip with my family to the southern states ending in Florida and then we came up the coast to the Eastern states. It was so much fun and I especially loved visiting Savannah, GA and Charleston, SC. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been on a road trip since I was a little kid. My dream road trip would be going about anywhere with my friend and then maybe getting a beach house somewhere along the way for a while (like that's going to happen). We've actually been planning a road trip for years for after we graduate (next year). Hopefully we will go on some sort of trip!
ReplyDeleteI think the good roadtrips were when I was a kid, and could read in the car without getting carsick. Now it makes me nauseated, so no more road trips!
ReplyDeleteI would love to do a 50 states road trip, to the quirkiest, most unique places in all of them. And I love playing I Spy in the car, and Punch Bug of course!
ReplyDeleteMy dream road trip would be to drive through the continental USA and maybe Canada with my BFF, just taking our time to see America and every touristy stop along the way just enjoying time together with our ipod playlist going!
