segways??

John...a natural, he drove circles around us (it was his first time driving too)

While we were in Charlotte, my uncle John planned a surprise outting one day...a trip around a southern plantation on....yes, segways! When we first got there I thought, "awesome a plantation tour or hike!" Then we parked in front of a field with rows of segways and my comment to my cousin (we drove separate) was, "Segways? On a plantation, I wonder who does that?" Brittany smiled real big and said, "We do."

I've always thought segways were a little goofy, but after riding on off road segways for a couple hours around trails...it is a lot of fun!! For those Ellers and Burdines who may not believe it without seeing pics...here they are! Dad AND mom did it too! We had a blast! Great idea uncle John!

Side note, one segway costs approximately $6,000 so I have decided to forgo getting one of my own! My current CAR didn't cost that much!

I love love love that you got to ride on a segway! I saw them in St Louis this fall and thought they looked like fun! Maybe next time you hit up Minneapolis we can hop on one of the city segway tours! :)
