We packed up and headed home on Thursday and stopped off in northern Kentucky for lunch. Some of the best sushi I've ever had! It may sound surprising, but there's a Toyota factory near by.
It took us exactly 4 hours to get home- despite a stop in Kentucky at Dairy Queen where I had to have a blizzard, and where we had a little english lesson. (Which often occurs with Yang and I. She wants to learn and I forget how American English has so many words that sound alike):
[The scene: HOT 90 degree day in a rural Kentucky town, just off the freeway. We just pulled into the Dairy Queen.]
Annie: Man, I am so excited for a blizzard.
Yang: What is this bli-bli-blissssard?
Annie: Well, it's just a big mix of ice cream and candy or cookies. I'll show you when we get inside.
Yang: ok.
[2 minutes goes by and we go inside.]
Yang: Isn't here an animal that is called like this "blizzard?"
[Annie thinks for good 30 seconds.]
Annie: Hmmm, no. That's a... "buzzard." It's a big poofy bird.
[Yang looks confused.]
Yang: Ok, hmmm. Maybe I look it up on my phone.
[Yang takes phone out and looks it up but doesn't look convinced.]
[another 5 minutes goes by]
Yang (still not looking convinced): I don't know about this "buzzard." But isn't there another animal called "blizzard??"
Annie: No. There is no animal called blizzard.
Yang: Yes. Like blizzard. maybe..."leeezard?"
[Annie thinks...]
Annie: Oh! Yes! LIZARD!! you mean a LIZARD!! hahaha!
Yang and I laughed and laughed about this for the rest of the way home.
Anyways- All in all, it was a great trip!

I love your description of a buzzard: "a big, poofy bird." Makes me think of a jovial-looking, smiling cartoon bird.
