Things never went quite as I imagined they would. Sorry your trip was less than you were dreaming of. I hope the next one is more like one Kerouac would have taken.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03865193802444007545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786284110007207873.post-76592765431577574322011-02-14T14:01:14.282-08:002011-02-14T14:01:14.282-08:00Ha ha!

While you're out there, you almost always secretly long to stop/go the other way/use the bathroom/change the music/know where you are/have a snack/eat proper food/find a gas station/fix that nasty engine sound that cannot be a good sign/kill the person in the car in front of you. <br /><br />Afterwards, though, it's easy to remember road trips as ultimate freedom, for some reason.Cruella Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422848273167338884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786284110007207873.post-91351074620060957772011-02-14T01:52:42.046-08:002011-02-14T01:52:42.046-08:00...and you wonder why you bothered.

I'll be doing vaca w/kids, sans hubby, again next week, but at least my kids are little older now and can take care of most things on their own. So you see, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. It really does get easier.

I am starting to enjoy showing the girls cool things on the road now that they're a bit older. They seem to be interested, so travel is taking on a new dimension.trileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06430221429400448628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786284110007207873.post-91859438593111297552011-02-13T18:22:17.974-08:002011-02-13T18:22:17.974-08:00Sounds like trying to have a carefree vacation wit...Sounds like trying to have a carefree vacation with your kids is like catch whatsit.
