“When the kids were young (late 80’s, early 90’s) we used to do long weekend mystery trips. One parent would select a location within about a day’s drive and no one else would know where we were going. One particular trip my husband decided we would go to South of the Border (cheesy I know, but the kids always thought it was great) and for some reason he thought it was at the GA/SC border instead of NC/SC. When we got to the GA/SC border he couldn’t figure out where it went! I don’t remember where we ended up but it was so funny it didn’t matter.” – Donna Varano
