The wonders of modern technology!

So there is this awesome gadget that looks like this....

That does amazing things.  After using it on several occasions, I don't know how people did without it!  I'm terrible at maps, so this is perfect for me!

However....it is not a foolproof device, as we found out the other day while driving through Santa Fe.  Here's the story...

So at the end of an exciting day in the Plaza (a must see part of Santa Fe), my cousin and his gf wanted to see the capitol building.  Since Rhett and I are not too familiar with Santa Fe, we pull out the trusty GPS, search for the state capitol, and then follow the annoying voice to the end destination.  So we drive for a short time, and it instructs us to turn into a dead end street, and then tells us we have "reached your destination."  The state capitol apparently got renovated from this....

Too funny! Seriously though, now that we have one, I don't know what I would do without it. They are amazing, although they kind be a bit tricky.
