interesting fact

Since living away from family we have driven back to Utah on an average of once a year.  Some years we flew back and some years we went twice and one year we didn't go back at all.
The other day as we were driving up to Fargo we were talking about how many time we did drive to Utah in our van, how many miles it was and then ended up with how many hours and days we spent in the car driving to and from Utah.  It was kind of interesting what we came up with.

2006 Summer
2007 Summer
2008 Christmas
2009 Summer
2011 March
2011 Summer
2012 Summer
2013 Summer
2014 Summer
2015 Summer

10 times driving to Utah
1100 miles from Iowa to Utah
1100 miles back (Utah to Iowa) (the last time it was back to South Dakota)
that is approximately 22000 miles

But what is even better/worse is the hours spent in the car...
16 hours each way
that is 32 hours each time, 10 times which = 320 hours
320/24 hours in a day = 13 days in the car
