Compilation of South of the Border Billboards (i.e. Getting the Parents to Play With the Cameras on Their Phones)
So I thought that it would be a great idea (a great Media Nerdy idea) to try to take as many pictures of the South of the Border billboards on our drive up to North Carolina to visit my aunt and uncle. And I thought it would be a really funny idea (a really kid-laughing-as-parents-embrace-technology… Continue reading Compilation of South of the Border Billboards (i.e. Getting the Parents to Play With the Cameras on Their Phones)
