TN Trip, part 3


Ode to the Tom-Tom

We are so glad that we have a Tom-Tom (we actually changed the name to Tam-Tam since the voice is a lady's voice). It was so helpful in navigating in a new area! I think the neatest part was being able to save certain locations for future use--like I dropped Blake off Thursday AM and I went driving around the city. When it was time for me to get him, I just pressed "Navigate to" and then the address of where he was! SO COOL!! Also, Blake googled top diners or whatever before we left and found a hole-in-the-wall pizza place. He simply added in the address and BAM we were there! There were a few time, though, that Tam-Tam let us down-like looking for places on relatively new roads. Someone we met in TN told us about "Cha Cha". It is the COOLEST thing- lets say you are lost and need directions and don't have a GPS. You can text chacha (242242) and ask them how to get from A to B, and they can tell you! No lie! It is so COOL. We used it to find a Red Robin Restaurant, to find a house in a brand new neighborhood, the phone number to a store, and we even found out that there are 112 Pringles in each Pringles can! NEAT, huh! You should try it (we think it's free...I guess we'll find out).
