How to road trip
It made me
kinda tired
 "It was fun for what it was, but I think it's definitely over rated."
How I did it: I did it once on my own, and once with my boyfriend. I went up to New England with my boyfriend and for my own, I mostly just had fun heading down to VA. What stuck me most was how weird it was to not really see much other than the states changing-- going 100 miles on the same high way does not give you much to look at except when near the cities. Still, I'm glad I got to try it. Lessons & tips: Take a lot of breaks! Seriously! The rest areas are actually pretty fun and it makes the whole thing more enjoyable. |

camper!

my dad decided to buy a camper instead of just rent one. which i am so pumped about, because we can then use it after this trip whenever we want.
so this weekend we went to NJ and looked at some, and we found one that is perfect.
one step at a time. next, picking out where we’re going to stop.

A bit uneventful towards the end, but the middle part was substantial and satisfying. I’ve finally documented the geography of my childhood.

Left my <3 in NYC, my keys in Philly and my foot in DC
10 months ago
Yeah so my younger sis, Mymy(15), & I(22) decide to take a mini road trip along the east coast. She had spent a month down in Nashville with me and with school a week away what better time to head off to Michigan. Coincidently my <3 was flying out of Jfk to leave the country around that time so we figured we'd drop him off in NYC(mind you he was visiting his homecountry on the other side of the world for the next month and won't get back till after I move to Oregon so this was our end fortunately I'm not the emotional type so it wasn't too bad).Once we arrived to downtown Philly along with my debit card(I don't carry cash) and ID I lost my only car key-yeah my sis wasn't happy about that at all. Once we finally moved on to D.C. we had to cut the sight seeing short because some how along the way I had hurt my foot (mind you I'm a fairly healthy 20 something with a high threshhold for pain but even I wasn't able to continue walking). Talk about disaster right?
Wrong! I had the most amazing time of my life and would/will do it all over again. We had great adventures through our mis-adventures. We also met some great people along the way who happend to be quite interesting and amazing cooks that were kind enough to put us up for the nights we were out and about. Much was seen and even more learned. If I ever get the time I’ll dribble on about the details but for now all I can say is no matter how insignificant a destination may seem if you get the chance to eascape the comfort of home and explore some place new DO IT! It’s not the destination so much that matters but rather the journey, right?

One of my friends is graduating from boot camp in September, and his girlfriend offered to let me tag along on the drive all the way down to Georgia and back again.
It’s going to be great!
3 weeks

I was on the road for 3 weeks, and it was the best thing I could have done with my summer. I drove from the west coast to the east coast through the north, then drove back through the south. I went with my father, because my mom and brother opted to fly to the east coast (we were all going to see family when we got there), and it was such an awesome break from my mom’s bitchy attitude and alcoholism.
If I get another chance, I’d love to go on another road trip.

Ever since hearing this song, Ive wanted to drive a red sports car through the mountains between France and Italy.
I dont want to be Lucy Jordan!
Would also like to do my own Thelma and Louise – not sure which one i’d be – both i think.
