Ah... road tripping. What a blast it can be. I have taken many road trips in my lifetime. From Colorado to Oregon, Oregon to Colorado, Colorado to New Mexico, Colorado to New York, and many more.

When I was younger my parents would rent an RV and we would travel all over the States. Those where some of the best vacations I can remember. Even when we didn't rent an RV we still had a blast. My parents would remove the bucket seats from our van and put blankets in there place. Making a flat spot for us to hang out. We had this tiny TV (I think it was about 10 inches), that we would watch movies on and play our Nintendo 64. Man it was awesome!

This is probably why I crave road trips now, good thing I am moving to LaGrange, Wyoming. What a road trip that will be. Or is it because of the possibilities that road trips hold? It's not like traveling by air, where you only get to see things from above. You can't stop and check stuff out. All a sudden you are at your destination. Which is good when you need to be somewhere fast.
But it takes the fun out of traveling. You don't get so see all the pretty sites in the air. Sure some places aren't fun to drive through, like Utah, but most will surprise you.
I think that its sad how the road systems are. You have to travel for days sometimes just to get to your final destination. You go up and down states because of the way the roads are built. If only we could just go straight across. You know point A to Point B, the quickest way to get to a destination is a straight line! However, I do love the trip experiences you encounter. The different sights of nature, the people, the city lifestyles and how they change from place to place. The weird looks that you get from the "locals" when you stop for food or gas, lol. O well, all in a days work right? I hope that this trip i able to bring you lots of great experiences vs leg cramps from sitting for hours. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah its tiring, but fun! I like seeing the weird locals and eating at old dinners (thats my Dads favorite part and mine too).
