Vacation Report #1

Our first major sight along the way was: Glenn Goode's Big People in Gainesville!

Once upon a time, in this wonderful land we call the U.S. of A., roadtrips were full of wondrous sights like giant jackrabbits, giant peanuts, giant rocking chairs and... giant people! The Muffler Man is a relic of a time not quite forgotten, when people wanted to sell you something. And when they wanted to sell you something they needed to get your attention. And giant people glaring down at you from the side of the road got your attention! Glenn Goode has a small sampling of old roadside statuary just East of Gainesville.

They're big. Really big.

And you can look up the former Uniroyal Gal's skirt and see her pink bikini shorts! What? I'm just sayin'!

Oooooo. Ahhhhhh. They're so... big.
