Road trip life

This is what road trip life was like for me this summer. 

Open roads with mountains everywhere

Our big old red truck taking us where we wanted to go

Road trip songs blasting through the speakers

Blue skies, little rain

Laughter, lomg talks, few arguments, more laughs after 

Spontaneous stops because we really had no specific destination

Food trucks like tacofino in Kelowna or real authentic tacos in California

Fruit stands, homemade ice cream, chocolate/gas station stops

Remembering your childhood as you passed by mini golf, go carts

You said that we would stop when we saw some amazing water slides...

Those didn't come till 1000 at night on our way home, ha ha ha. 

Stops at campsites in state parks

Meeting some neighbours close by who made homemade fireworks...

One opts out one opts in

I'll let you guess which one is which 

Ordering pizza at a campsite cause they actually delivered and you just can

Learning about Lewis and Clark

Seeing a bear, YIKES, never get used to that

Visiting a lighthouse 

Playing stettlers at night and getting beaten, ugh!

Exploring the towns

Plenty of homemade fudge, salt water taffy and kites galore

Arcade with old fashioned games like a shooting range (toys) and videos

Visiting markets and buying good eats and toys for little ones

Visiting beaches and spontaneously going for a dip

Run, and or play in the sand

Admiring the driftwood

Driftwood houses too

Admiring the surfers and longing to be that good

If only an ocean was in your backyard

Still enjoyable to see

Seeing the majestic redwoods

Having more that a few moments with the trees

Admiring their beauty, stillness, and age

Having wonderment of all that the trees have been around in their lifetime

 

And doing those silly stops like drive through a tree

And noting how humans can mange to make even a tree a commercial entity

Worrying as we were in a one way line if our truck would actually fit

It did

 

 

Driving away as fast as we came

As we had some wine tasting stops that needed attending

And that it was

Yum yum for me as you played driver that day

Thanks!

 

 

Love
