I know right now the world seems to be on lockdown and everyone is saying “Stay At Home” but we believe that this is temporary and when the cities and towns reopen, we’ll probably all be ready for some travel adventures, which is why I am so happy the publishers asked me to read and review 100 Drives, 5000 Ideas, a picture book with the most enticing locales for themed road trips all across the 50 United States and the Canadian provinces.
