Returned yesterday afternoon from a road trip to North Carolina. Spent only $120 on gas - half as much as I thought we'd spend. Took us 10 hours to get to the hotel and only 8.5 to get home. Though I'm feeling a little car-tired still, I can't believe how easy the whole thing turned out to be.
The "whys" that made this enjoyable: making the car ride part of the adventure - not just the method of transportation, travelling with wonderful people, having lots of different music in the car, celebrating the marriage of a great friend with a bunch of other great friends, good ol' Carolina BBQ, shrimp-n-grits, Gap Outlet, riding bikes around Nags Head, make-your-own waffles, a belly dancing convention, the enormous silver Jesus, salt spray on your skin, America's Funniest Videos' "surprised montage," a true jam session, jack & cokes, Cheerwine, touching places fingers can't feel, the Elizabethan Gardens, sand combining ceremony, a very happy couple.
