Road Trips

Well I have been thinking a lot about Road trips. Thinking about Road trips with good friends, about Road trips with just my best friend, Road Trips with my kids, and road trips with my family. I’ve always wanted to go on Road trips, they always seem so fun and exciting and it seems like I might be going on them more and more as my kids get older because it wont seem as much of a chore trying to keep after them and make sure they are safe and more time on enjoying it and taking photos and what not. Sure I guess I should mention this was all brought on to the fact earlier this month I was suppose to take a one day Road Trip to PA with My Mom and Best friend Halls, but it got cancelled because a nasty Vet Bill, and low on funds. I am glad it didn’t Happen because the night we would have been driving back home in Halls car we might have been in an accident. Halls front driver side tire fell off when she was driving home from work and can you imagine if we been on the Highway going like 60-65 and the tire fell off!! So yeah I guess we are meant to go visit our peeps in PA another time and it will come one of these days!! But back to me babbling about RT (RT will = Road Trip kk)

I know there are a number of places just in VA alone I’d love to go visit or visit again!! So I am going to write down a list and with what group of people it be fun to go with :D

With just friends: (girls only)

• Washington D.C.’s annual Cherry Blossom Festival (April) http://www.nationalcherryblossomfestival.org/cms/index.php?id=390
• Luray, VA (again)
• The Eastern Shore of VA (http://www.esvatourism.org/home.asp)
• Visit the Blue Ridge Mountains

With my Family:

• Manassas, VA
• The Shenandoah Valley
• Assateague Island
• Winchester, VA http://www.virginia.org/site/cities.asp?city=Winchester
• Washington D.C. in December

Man just writing this all out the ideas running through my head making me excited about it all (And it’s all just ideas…lol) But I am sure I will go on RT in the future. I did forget to tell you about the one day RT Halls and I (with our kids) took around July this summer. We were bored as hell staying in our same old boring home town so we picked some places we wanted to visit and just choose one. We planned for about a week tops (I think it might have been more like a few days to round up money and whatever, I think this idea would be better if I just took some money out whenever I could place it in a jar or something and when I get a wild hair up my butt use the money to go on a random 1 day RT : ) We ended up heading to Luray VA one because I wanted to do a human Maze and when I explained to halls that I meant we physically run around in a maze trying to get from one end to the other she got excited and wanted to go do it!! So Halls, the kids drove to Luray VA and went to the Garden Maze (http://thegardenmaze.com/) and visit the Luray Zoo (http://www.lurayzoo.com/) there then drove back home. It was pretty great just doing it. I did get a little aggravated with the kids being butts towards each other but other then that I loved it!! Man I am hopeless I am writing all over the place but whatever that’s how I write I guess putting down what I am thinking. So yeah it was awesome I will post the pictures on my Flickr Account now that I am thinking about it he he but yeah the whole point of me writing all this babble is because I was wondering what are some really awesome Road trip songs?? I thought of “Let Go” by Frou frou, “Crash” by Dave Matthews band, “Pinch Me” Barenaked ladies, "All right now" by Free, "Life is a Highway" by Tom Cochrane….any other ideas????
