Meet the 2010 Best Dad on Wheels winner

What fun I had yesterday, calling the winner of our 2010 Best Dad on Wheels contest, Ben Hayes (pictured here taking a nap with his daughter). I called and left a message at his workplace, trying to sound all business like. He called back and I said that I was calling to tell him he won.
Long pause. He was truly speechless.
I asked if he even knew about it. He said some time after his wife (his college sweetheart no less) entered him, she mentioned it. He thought it was sweet of her.
He was proud and humbled at the same time.
We are proud of Ben too, and all the families and fathers that entered the contest. We had tons of entries, and thousands of votes and page views for the top 10. The hardest part was narrowing down the selection to just 10 men!
Read more about Ben and the stories of the top 10 finalists.
Here's the write-up Ben got in his local paper in Maine.

PS: We are thinking about a Best Mom on Wheels contest? Any interest?
