I was truly honored to plank for Minnie Mouse. She was dressed in Hawaiian garbs to promote the new Aulani Resort in Hawaii.
Vacations are a time for exploring, having fun and just being plain silly. This summer we heard about a new social media phenomena called planking, or plankiando in Spanish. It’s a really stupid, harmless thing that entails laying straight like a log with your feet and your hands straight and your face down. There is absolutely no meaning to planking except that in our case I tried to do it with famous places and people. Almost no one had seen this done but in a couple places like the Golden Gate Bridge and in front of the Hollywood Walk of Fame we did overhear people say, “look, they’re planking!” Planking made our 44-day road trip so much funner! I hope you enjoy our collection of road trip planks!

My toddler Briani joined her sister Elena and I for her first plank in front of the Grand Tetons in Wyoming.

My son Jonathan and I planked on the Meade Glacier in Alaska.

This plank is probably the funniest. Look at the faces of Batman and the tourists.

Planking is related to wood so when i got to the Petrified Forest in Arizona I couldn't help but plank on a piece of petrified wood. I call this the Petrified Plank.

This was the most painful plank of the trip because it hurt to lay down on this car. I felt like pieces of this car in Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas.
